(Kay, packing bags ... loading moving van ... getting pets rounded up ...)  :D

I talked to another recent ANer this morning and hope that she will also join us on the 7th.  Her name is Kathleen and she had surgery in March in NY (thanks to Cindyj for sending her to me!)  I told her what a nice group we are!   ;D

Work has been very slow for me lately. I had the last two Saturday's off. So I think there's a good chance I will be able to make it too.

Hi everyone!

It looks like we should have a really good turn out next month if everyone who posted here can make it!  I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again, along with the newbies to our lunch crowd.  I'd like to make the reservation by the end of next week -- I'm sure it can be changed if need be, but I'd like to get an approximate head count by next Wednesday or Thursday.

Thanks,
Wendy

Hi Catherine,

Yes, we're planning for 12:00 noon.  I look forward to seeing you there. 

I also wanted to remind everyone that spouses/partners are also welcome to come -- the more the merrier!   ;)

Yes, and I'm still in!  I'm having my follow up MRI the day before, and am off to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion three weeks later.  (And just to make sure my life has some balance to it, I'm getting a colonoscopy in between!)
