Will the raffle benefit a rescue? I'm sure I have stuff to donate so I'll get back to you on that.
I'm happy to say Branwen & I plan to come. We've reserved rooms for Friday & Saturday nights AND we are bringing Francis & the girls (not to the get together though). :) :heart:

Yes it will benefit MRR!!    ;D

Excellent!!  :thumbsup2: I will definitely puul together some nice things.

So here we are, 1 month until party time.  In order to plan accordingly I would like to get a good idea of who is coming.  My goal is to have a headcount by Saturday May 26th.  (about a week and a half away)  I will message everybody via PM as well. 

There is a facebook page with some more information as well. I will include that in the PM to each of you. 

I am so excited to see some of you again, and to meet some of you for the first time!  ;D


I apologize to anybody that I may message on here who is already on the Facebook page... I do not know everybody's screen name on here versus who you are on facebook. Sorry.

I'm very interested in attending the event.   It sounds like a lot of fun.   Could I get the link?

When do you think we could meet up so I can grab the bags from you?  I will get some fabric paint and go to town with the date and year.  ;D

Well... I'm pretty much home all day during the week, except Tuesday mornings for storytime at the library.  :wink5: Cora is up around 10am, lunch around 11:30, and goes down for her nap around 2pm until around 4. So, if you want to meet her, you can come when she's up (but not 11:30-12:30 ish), or you can come when she's napping (and text instead of doorbell).  :thumbsup2:

Sounds good for now. I know my mom is coming up soon to visit for a week, just not sure when she's arriving yet. She has some stuff to take care of related to my grandmother before she can take a break (death cert., insurance, etc.).  :-\ But, that shouldn't matter... even if she's here, you're welcome to stop by. I'll dig them out this afternoon so I know where they are. There's probably about 20 of them.

Well, here we are couple weeks away.... I would really like a final RSVP by June 8th.  Even if you think you'll make it, please let me know. 

I messaged everybody that had showed interest from the start of the thread with very limited response.

There is a Facebook event for this if you use Facebook. If you do, please let me know and I will tell you how to find it on there.



If you are coming, please let me know if you are planning on bringing anything to either put in the goody bags, or anything for the raffle.  The raffle will benefit MRR.

And just another added bonus - BOTH Kim and Robin from MRR, and SueBee will be there!   :BlueDumboSmile:

@SueBee
JesB said she was on your facebook and to keep her posted about the get together.  I messaged her on here and still havent heard back. I was wondering if you could let her know via Facebook?
