Yup, it's in Worcester.  Right off 290.  I've never been there (never even drove by) - I'm just going by the web site Phyl posted.

sounds great all!  Ok, unless anyone else has suggestions for a location, do we consider this "etched in stone"?

Hi,
I can't commit to that date. I will be arriving home from vacation the night before and that could be a stretch to get out there the next morning. But I'd like to play it by ear...my right ear that is....and have the option of showing up if the stars are aligned. I'm sure the restaurant can pull up another chair for a paying customer. I am putting down in my calendar. I just need to know what time....and am I right to understand that we must leave the restaurant by 11 a.m.? That's fine with me but if it's true, I hope the meeting would start by 9 a.m.

Hi Donna,

OH, misunderstanding... brunch to begin at 11am.  I surely do hope you can attend! That would be terrific...and maybe you can share with us local Boston AN support group updates/happenings/anything and everything!  I know you will be fresh-back from vacation but would be terrific if you could! :)

And I'm here, about two hours from Beantown in New Hampsha. Would try to come meet, depends where, as roundtrip might be daunting still, alas.

Any chance of a place which doesn't kick us out at 11?? It's a drive to get there, then to leave so soon....

Finally saw how to navigate and get to all four pages of thread, so now I know we start at 11, much more civilized given that it's a drive for most.  I hope to make it July 30th, would be even better if I could figure out way to team up with another so I don't do all the driving in one day.
What has happened to the NH ANA Support Group?  I attended two meetings and have heard nothing more.  Anyone know?  I'll be interested to learn of the Boston area one.  And any help on headaches, bring it on...

Katie, if I could get to Littleton, might I go with you, for example?

Absolutely!  I'm right off 495.  Feel free to email me directly (krbonner at comcast dot net) and we can work out arrangements if you decide to carpool.

Hello,
I am not clear on the brunch time. I read one post that says "11 a.m they kick us out" and another that suggests it might start at 11 a.m.  Can someone clarify the start time and if indeed we must leave at 11?

Thanks,
Color Lady

Hi D,

Brunch begins at 11am.  Hope that helps.... and hoping to see you there!  Folks coming in from all angles of New England, so it should be very nice.
