Autumn N.E. Area AN Forum Gang Brunch
« on: August 23, 2006, 07:15:22 am »
carried over from a different thread:

Katie, I need a pick me up as well and I tend to do better when I'm focused, organizing something, so....

Time to announce the next N.E. ANA Forum Gang Brunch! YAY! :)

Was thinking Mid-Oct to early November.....

For those that would like to attend, was thinking of a Sat am brunch so CrazyKat/Paul's lovely Jody can join us (as she is involved with her church on Sunday am's). If Sunday is better, and with enough notice, maybe Jody can make arrangements to join us.

So, if you have plans already established for that timeframe, please advise here so we can work around it.  Maxwell's Sunday brunch (in Worcester) worked marvelously and for the money, to me, was well worth it.  (Plus, we can harrass the omlet table chef again!)

Peanut, we can work arrangements to help get you to whereever we decide to go. Arrangements are made to help ensure all can "hear" during the brunch. 

AND, if anyone is planning on traveling to this region (hey, where's Dale and that drivable ship of his?) for Fall Foiliage or Haunted Happenings in Salem, please ..... we'd love to have you join us! :)

Regardless of which day or where, so looking forward to seeing everyone again... esp. before the holidays and... that miserable 4-letter word... ugh...snow!

So, if you are interested in attending... please note here and what day of weekend works best and/or dates.

Bon Appetite all!
Phyl, your Cruise Director of the recently lost, but, oh-so found PBW!





Nothing like the Boston Medical community! :)  Will organize next brunch.. was thinking end Oct/Beginning November...

I'm all up for a fall brunch again!  I'm sure I'll need the pick-me-up right about then.   ;D

Believe it or not, I already have plans for Oct 28 (Sat.).  I can't believe how quickly my weekends get booked up these days!  Insanity, I tell ya.  But  all other dates are open.

Thank you for organizing!!!

The first weekend of November is not good for me. I have a weekend gig up in Solon, ME at the Solon Hotel!! YeeeeeHaaaaaa!!
First week of hunting season. Up there it's a big deal!

The first weekend of October is out as well. On vaykay, driving down to Florida and back. How's the second weekend in Rocktober sound? Or the third week? That way, it doesn't interfere with Katie's 28th.

  :D:D Yup, count me in too. My calendar is pretty free. I agree Maxwells was very good. Can't believe how fast these months go by.
Thanks Phyl for the planning part.

Hi Patty, I did a mapquest to see Kingston.  Let me ask you this.  I believe there are 2 optons.  How long is the drive on I-87 north to I-90?  JcinMA (if she can make it) lives over the MA border and it took her just over an hour  or so to drive to Worcester.  Then, JoeF is in CT and maybe meet up with him if you head south and pick up I-84.  I think it took JoeF a couple of hours (both of them can better elaborate).  Would love to have you join us! :)
