ANA Discussion Forum NE "Spring Fling" Brunch at Maxwell's
« on: January 26, 2009, 03:57:22 pm »
Hi all,

well, time to plan again. With bridal showers, graduations, etc... time to preplan the next brunch at Maxwell's:

http://www.maxwellmaxine.com/maxwells.html


Was thinking April (just in time to celebrate kbonner/Katie's new arrival!)

Last brunch, as many know, we filled the "rim to the brim" and busted the walls out of the Boardroom (ie: overflow capacity). I want to make sure we plan this well in advance to secure enough space.

so, thoughts? Timeframe? Date?

Time to start planning all... for all those interested, please note here (so I can get approx head count so I can let the restaurant know).

Please list your name for interest in attending... and a good date that you can attend. We usually do the Sunday Brunch (see link above... follow to the brunch menu, which will note what all is included and cost).

thanks!

Phyl;

I don't have anything coming up so far, but April is almost 3 months away and anything can happen.  With that caveat, count me in (with Tina, of course) for attendance at an April brunch at Maxwells in Worcester.  :)

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

You know I'll be there if I can, but I'm not going to make promises at this point.   ;D

Keep in mind that Sunday April 12 is Easter this year.

I'm there!  I'll be 7 weeks post-op.  Can't wait to be on the other side.  Maybe I can schedule a doctor's appointment in Boston for Monday to take advantage of the drive down.  See you soon.
