Hi Laura -

Thanks for posting this ... We must be on the same wave length... I had just sat down to post it too :-).

I've already RSVPd on meetup and I hope that we have a bunch of others do the same... As a matter of a fact, I'm hoping that we'll get some people from Jacksonville, Greensboro and even Wilmington. I know that asking folks to trek all the way from Charlotte and the mountains is asking a bit much, but I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone.

Thanks again for posting this.

I would totally drive up by it's my best friend's annual party here in Charlotte and I've been told quite clearly that my presence is required.  However....I'm determined to drive up and say hi at one of your next get togethers.

I've got a sister-in-law up that way, and it would be fun to drop in and see the niece and nephew too!

I'm sorry that you can't make this event, but I'm really looking forward to seeing you at a future event.

Sounds like fun!  I definitely want to come, but will have to wait to RSVP.  My dh and I are trying to decide when we're going to head up to WI for the holidays.  If we're still around though, I would love to join the Soiree!  :)  I have a few questions.  Is this for "us" only?  Is this a spouse thing, or just the WLS members.  Also, what's the attire like at The Conference Room?  Casual, dressy, somewhere in between?  :)  Oh, I hope I can come, I so want to meet everyone!

Hey Deb -

I think it's a "the more the merrier" kind of event. Our spouses are always welcome at any event; I think that they are so crucial to our long-term success. I don't know if any other spouses are attending yet or not.

Re: dress ... I'm always one to love an occasion to dress up, but we haven't really discussed it. So I guess it's a good question to pose to the group as a whole. Do we want to dress up for the holidays?

I really hope you can make it Deb. I'd love to meet you.

Barb

Thanks for the response Barb!  We'll see what happens with my schedule, but I'll definitely be pulling to make it!
