Obesity Help National Event in Lexington, KY

Over the last months, we've discussed the OH convention in Lexington, KY, October 27-28. I hope that many of you can make it to this event. The speaker line-up is impressive and there is a masquerade ball planned for Friday night. The hotel rate is decent at $119 per night. Lexington is a friendly town and the surrounding "Horsey" countryside is beautiful in the fall. For the guys in our group, we've planned a session on men's bariatric issues lead by "Dx" of Men's board fame. I may stay Friday night but I live within 30 miles of the hotel and will commute most of the time. Nan is planning to come as is Channon and others have shared an interest. Lexington has a medium size airport. Sometimes, it's cheaper than Louisville, which, while larger, is 55 miles away. Flights to Louisville do tend to be cheaper, but then you'll need a car to drive to Lexington. I may be able to pick some folks up at the Lexington airport. The meeting starts early Friday, October 27. I'm thinking that we can get together for dinner and/or drinks Thursday evening around 7:00pm. We can carpool if necessary. Lexington has a number of great places to eat and there are clubs and bars within a few blocks of the Radisson. If your thinking driving, Lexington is 6-8 hours from Chicago, St Louis, Atlanta, Charlotte, Richmond, Cleveland, Pittsburg, and Detroit. It' s 1 1/2 hours from Cincinatti. All the driving is Interstate. I'll be posting every two weeks or so. Who's planning on coming, on the fence, or just can't make it? Dave

I'd love to go Dave. Like you mentioned it's only about an 8 hour drive from Detroit. I guess you would have to put me down as on the fence for now as I never know what my work situation will be that far in advance.

are you picking me up on your way south? I seriously can not go but if you do go you need to stop in Chi-town on your way there or home!!! Nancy

Tim: If you do drive, there are nice places to stay in the $75 range. Dave
