Post by: Debbi on April 12, 2010, 01:17:38 pm
All-
Due to some scheduling conflicts, we are going to change the date of our next brunch from Sunday, May 2 to Sunday, May16.

Please let me know if you can make it.  I will PM everyone who had responded for the May 2 date as well. 

Spread the word, please!!

Debbi (and Wendysig)

I am VERY hopeful, but I am still not sure. I had so much fun last time, though, that I can't wait!

Uh oh, I think I posted to quickly.  While my kids usually have something going on, one or the other, this time they both have something on May 16. In this case my wife covers one and I will have to cover the other.  Unless I can make some other arrangement I do not think I can make this date. May 2 was better for me.

Sorry,

Neal

Hi Debbie and Wendy,
It was good to see you both recently at our Sunday ANA/NJ meeting.  Wow, that was amazing!  I think I successfully changed my username from JeffB to jerseyboy.  I'll see you both May 16 after my Thailand trip.  Cheers.

Debbi,

I definitely want to attend and can make it just about any Sunday.  So keep me in the loop if there are any more date changes.   I just stopped in today to make sure everything was still a "go".  I'll be in contact here before the 16th!  Can't wait to meet everyone.  Oh yea, I'm going to bring a guest.  ;)

We are headed for a great crowd!  Please just check to make sure I've got you on the list (up a couple of posts) as I will be confirming the reservation this week.  Of course, they are usually very accommodating about adding more tables if we need it, but it helps to have a head count.

Can't wait to see everyone!

I'm leaving for Bangkok in 30 minutes, and if I don't get shot in a civil war, will be at the ANA/NJ brunch, notwithstandinfg my return only a few hours earlier.
I changed my name from JeffB to jerseyboy to keep jerseygirl and jerseygirl2 company!  Who will become jerseyboy2?

Debbi and Wendy,

Am sorry to have to cancel on the May 16 date, but am having to return to my mother's in Nashville sooner than I had anticipated so won't be able to attend. Hope that everyone has a great time and I'll look forward to the next get-together!

Well, another fun brunch with a great group of people!!  I know that Wendy got some pictures too, so hopefully she'll add them.  To get us started, though, here are some shots

No fair Debbie!  You beat me!  I thought I was going to be the first one posting.  I wanted to say how great it was to meet everyone and how much I appreciated you for doing this before anyone could get to the forum. 
Meeting everyone made me feel so much better.
I can't wait until the next one either, if you'll put up with me again, that is...

I am very glad I could make it! It was great to see familiar faces and absentees were sorely missed! Both Ken and Debbi made a huge improvement - whatever you guys are doing is working. Great lunch!

The brunch was great and it was good to meet Kevin, Glen and finally Wayne and his girlfriend Patty.  Debbi did all the organizing this time, so many thanks to you Debbi, and the name tags were a great idea!  I sent you some pictures that Rob took since I am not adept at posting them.  To those of you who were not able to attend the brunch today, I hope we see you next time -- you were missed!

Yes, Joe - you are right and you were MISSED.  You know, it's been you, me, Eve and Wendy since the beginning.  It felt weird not having you there.  There are still beers owed, I believe ... ;)

BTW, if anyone wants copies of any of the pictures, just send me a PM with your email address and I will send them.

Always good thoughts,  Nancy

Wow- looks like it was a successful event (as usual)!  Sorry I missed it and I'll try hard to make it to the next one.  It great to see so many smiles and support and I think some new faces too- welcome to the most awesome group of AN'ers I've met - truth is you're the only ones I've met but you're all special to me! Loved the pics and Debbi- you have such a beautiful smile- your hard work is showing!!!

To the two Nancy's - thank you so much for the smile compliments!  Since I went out to Wisconsin to see Jackie, I have gotten SO much improvement.  It's pretty amazing.  And just goes to prove that the face can still heal 2 years later.

Nance, really hope you can come to our next one - you were missed!

Our next brunch will probably be either late September or November (ANA NJ is having their big mini-conference Oct 24, so we don't want to miss that.)  Anyone have a preference?

Debbi,

I meant to tell you the same thing about your smile.  If I didn't know already know you via this forum I would not have noticed anything unusual. Anything that's still going on is so minor at this point that only an astute observer like another AN'er would notice. Looks like they did a great job in Wisconsin. Your work paid off.

You're right --  you were missing and missed.  Hope to see you at the next get together!
