I would LOVE to see a regional section to this forum so those from a particular area can possibly coordinate face to face meetings, etc.  I know the Boston ANA group has lost it's group leader and we're in limbo out here...so...

If you are from Boston/New England/NYC, please say hi here!  Maybe we can coordinate a face to face meeting or such. I've spoken to some of you here so I know you all exist! :)

Thanks!

Jane, I have missed you and thought of you often. Will have to chat on phone sometime soon to catch up on things!  Here's hoping you are feeling well and thank you so so so very much for the talk we had and sharing with me all that you did! xoxoxo

Hi all,

Anyone interested in a mini-AN get-together? I know summer months are tough and not sure how driving affects you all, but I'm willing if others are. Wonderful to meet other AN'ers face to face to share and laugh and share and whatever. Just a thought.

Hey Paul and Katie!

Thrilled to hear this! :)

Thoughts... a Sunday in July? Any Sunday during July not work?

Was thinking out towards Worcester, MA... so, for those in CT, W. MA or Metro Boston, easy to get to (yep, even for Littleton! ;) )

Thoughts?

In general, a Sunday brunch in Worcester works fine, with the possible exception of July 16th.  But I'm also hoping to hear back about a surgical date soon.  I got the impression it would be sooner rather than later, but I don't know if that means as soon as July!!

Sounds good Katie! Should also be talking to the CrazyRockerDude today (since I had to cut him short yesterday on the phone).  Noted that weekend of July 16th doesn't work.... maybe end July?
