PBP...The Barbaro's won't be able to attend on 4/15...:<(...we could do 4/22. I know that Wayne/Chris mentioned that they won't be back from FL on 4/15 either....Was 4/22 not good?
Noted! :)
Ok, others that 4/15 doesn't work? 4/22 better? Speak now or forever hold your peace!
thanks!

4/15 is the first weekend of school vacation, 4/22 is the last weekend of vacation. Personally, I don't yet know whether one is better than the other. I will be going to AZ again sometime in the last part of April (for my sister's 40th!), but don't yet know the dates. So don't plan around me!

:) I'd rather 04/22/2012--will be babysitting my grandkids with my son as daughter-in-law is taking her school kids to Costa Rica week of 04/15/2012, so 04/22/12 would be better for me...
And I'd like to schedule my next MRI for very first of April so I'll have that to share with everyone!!
Regards,
MLB (Grammy-Mary) ;D

Either date is good for me...
Laura

I am open all April......hoping I can make it this time

Will try hard to be there. Flying into Hartford and drive on up to Wocester.

Hi Phil,
I RSVPed earlier but I will again.....count me in. That will be two days after I attend the 100 year celebration at Fenway Park. My good friend was able to get tickets thru Peter Pan by using my AN story and the fact that I just recovered from surgery on Feb 6th. I had a lumpectomy (? of spelling) and found out I am CA free. Sooooo I hope to have pictures and fun stories to tell you at the luncheon.

;D Hi everyone,
I had hoped I could brunch with everyone this time, but my son is having a surprise 40th birthday party for his wife on, you guessed it, Sunday April 22... Place TBD but it may be in Worcester at 1 pm so if that's the case I may be able to stop in at least for a quick "hi" to everyone!! :-*
I'm having my 2 year MRI with DR Loeffler on April 18 so I hope to have good news to share!!!
Take care everyone and I'll keep you updated!!
Best always, ;D

Mei Mei has indicated to me via PM that she plans to fly in to Boston on Saturday to attend the brunch. She'll be staying with a friend in Boston but may need a ride part of the way (to Worcester) but that is not clear, yet. In any case, just to be prudent, please add Mei Mei to the list of attendees. Thanks.

Hi everyone coming to the Worcester!
I'm flying up from Maryland on Saturday and hoping to get a ride on Sunday morning from the Watertown area where I'll be staying. I would like to contribute to the gas as that is a big item nowadays. I can meet you in Brookline, Watertown or the Waltham exit of 128 if that works for whoever answers this.
Thank,
Mei Mei

Hello All,
I'm sorry to say that I cannot come to the meeting next Sunday as I was planning to do. I've been working on the airfares and they are out of sight.
Jet Blue last summer was $80 RT to Boston and now it is between $400 and $500. Priceline and Southwest to either BOS or Hartford went from $800+ to $1300+
Oh well, should have won the lottery but didn't. Will start planning way ahead for next meeting. Really miss my New England friends.
Hugs,
Mei Mei

Mei Mei ~
I'm so sorry you won't be able to attend the ANA brunch on the 22nd. However, the airfare is definitely prohibitive and makes it understandable as to why you can't do it. At those inflated prices, few of us could.
We were looking forward to having you join us but I'm optimistic that you'll be able to find a way to attend the autumn brunch.
Jim
-
Thanks, Jim. I was all excited about it and looking forward to meeting you and your wife. I worked on the airfare for two days but finally saw the reality.
I will be with all of you in spirit .

Hi Phyl,
Chris and I are back in town and will be there on Sunday.
Have another MRI on Wednesday... will have the report and DVD by Friday.
See you Sunday.

Sorry for the last minute cancellation......I have gone from brain tumor to acute osteoarthritis of my knee, I never knew it hurt so bad. Was hoping I would have a good day today and could make the trip but the day was awful so I cannot make it. Guess the good news is that it is almost a year for me and I feel I still am healing, the journey has been a long one. Just didn't want to deal with any more problems..... it has been a tough year, brain surgery, loosing my beloved baby brother and now the knees.....guess I have to keep smiling, putting one foot in front of the other. Have a great day.

Just a quick note to tell everyone that the Northeast ANA Discussion Forum brunch at Maxwell's in Worcester, Massachusetts was fantastic, as usual! 21 attendees - including some 'new faces'. Great food and good conversation. The only thing missing was Phyl, who couldn't be with us this time and was sorely missed, along with Cindy, Kathy & Bob. Rich took a few photos and will post them (or a link) asap.
No date set, yet, but the next brunch should be held in October. Stay tuned for details. :)

Jim
Thanks to you and Lisa for ALL of your help with yesterday... and trust me, I had no intention of missing the brunch and it came down to the last minute. I was made aware of Kathy and Bob not attending early Sunday am and apologies if I didn't get to you in time to alert you due to other issues here. Thrilled you all enjoyed and yes, great news re: Dr. Barker. Now, as for the symposium.... my take on it is this.... much like many cities hope to host an Olympics games..... can Boston pull it off? ;) Criteria: You have to have a member of the Medical Advisory Board (who has the time/energy available to help with coordination as it is a huge feat to attempt)....... can we get 1 of the 2 MAB members of Boston to host the 2015 symposium? How can the folks within New England help nudge that along? :)
Thrilled you all enjoyed and will have to look at the calendar for next Brunch (typically held in October).... dates in Oct anyone? Columbus Day weekend is out for me (my wedding anniversary).
Phyl
-
I'm sorry I missed the brunch, but I'm enjoying the warmth of the Arizona sun. Headed home tomorrow.
You'll have to fill me in news about Dr. barker and the possibility of getting the symposium in Boston. I'll do what I can to help!

ANA Brunch at Maxwell’s April 22, 2012
Hi Everyone,
Thank you Phyl for organizing the Brunch, we’re sorry you couldn’t be there. Your Brazilian Nut makes a great omelet. Thanks Jim and Lisa for filling in.
Dr. Barker joining the ANA Medical Advisory Board was exciting news to say the least. Scarlett and I will be sure to thank him when Scarlett goes for her follow-up on May 10th.
The Brunch is such a nice “informal†way of catching up with old friends, and making new ones. As usual the time goes by too fast and before you know it, it’s time for the group photo shot.
Check out the photos at: www.photobucket.com/april2012maxwells
(http://www.photobucket.com/april2012maxwells)
We had great time, thanks again 8) 8)
Rich & Scarlett
P.S. You can view previous Brunch photos by clicking on “View SML-Rich56’s Profile†then click the “Recent Albums†tab. Tip: you can use the “F11†key on your key board to toggle back and forth between full screen and normal, this works anytime your on the internet, not just viewing photobucket.
-
Beautiful photos nice to see faces to the many names on here and you would never know that any of you had an AN...
Best Wishes,
-
Thanks Rich. Nice job on the photos. It was great to see you and Scarlett again, too.
Jim

Hi
Thanks to all for another great luncheon and no problem being Jim's first mate and helping out. Sorry we missed you at the luncheon phyll, bob, kahty and cindy. Hope to see you all in the fall. Rich the pictures are great.
LisaP ;D
-
Great pics, Rich! Thanks for sharing and I'm sorry my big nose was not in the middle of it. :)
Apologies folks for not being able to attend. Sometimes life's challenges have been known to interrupt my life and I know you all understand, so thank you for thinking of me.
Yes, terrific news re: Dr. Barker and will have to obtain further info so we can pursue the push for Olympics Symposium 2015! ;D
Will keep you al updated for next brunch date. Suggestions?
Phyl
-
;D Hello brunchers!!
So sorry I missed this one, but now I do have good news to share: 04/25/2012 went into Boston and MGH and had my scan (previous one 2 years ago) then met with Dr Loeffler at his new digs in the Lundler building (4 stories below ground--any way I digress).. He immediately said the scans look good--no change from last time and he'll see me in 3 years!! I was relieved as for the last 3 months I have had a substantial increase in tinnitus but he said that will "wax and wane".. But it had been pretty quiet for some time before...
Anyway the bottom line is, so far, still so good!!
Life is good!! ;)
Regards,
Mary (aka Grammy/Mary)

Great news, Mary! Hope to see you again soon!

Congratulations, Mary! Splendid news! See you sometime in October at the next ANA brunch.
