Phyllis,

Thanks for the info.  It sounds like it's in the early planning stages but I'm definitely interested!  We have an awesome group in OKC and we did an overnight to Tulsa last year for the Walk From Obesity.  This sounds like something that we would do!  Can you say ROAD TRIP???

Please keep me posted when the details are more firm and I'll see if I can rally the troops!

Kim

I would love to attend the conference also.  I am in SE Oklahoma, and I teach in Texas...so I claim dual citizenship!  LOL  Is it going to be in Dallas again?

Marsha

This has definetly peaked my interest,  so keep us updated on the information and we can put a group together and Road Trip up there.

Thanks,
Sheila

Hey Sheila, I am all for it too!!!! We could ride down togehter.. Who else from Tulsa area would be interested?

Cindy,

Sounds good to me.. We can put it on our calendars and line everything up too.. I am sure the OKC girls will get together too, and we could carpool together.. Surely we have more takers to go..

Can't wait,
Sheila

Debra for once I can attend something!
May is a good month for me it will be right before I have my hernia repair and my legs done. So no swimming for me.
And If get to see two of my angels then its gonna be a blast...kust let Ramon and Yvonne know I am coming....

YES -  it is early - but I wanted everyone to be able to put it on their calendars.

I'll be trying to keep you all up to date as I know............if nothing else - can and visit the TMB board.....or watch   www.rydobesity.com  (That is Debra, Ramon's & Yvonne's) website - I'm sure that the information will be on there when they get all together.

Last year's conference was at the Crown Plaza Hotell off of i-35..just 1 exit from something.....sorry  - I drew a blank..............
