Idea for meeting place next month

I think afternoons would be okay, but after say 2:30. Julia's class doesn't get out till 2:00 and she'd take a bit to get over to Springfield. But, that would be on a weekend that she's here in town for class. It would be nice to have people come from out of the immediate area too. Linda

We've made a decision up here that we set a time and date and just go for it. Whoever makes it, makes it. And being late is okay, too. It isn't possible to accomodate everyone's schedule. It takes at least s couple of hours for many to drive home. Most want to be home early, at least I do. tee

OK guys, I have the rec room reserved for Saturday, February 17th from 11 am to 4 pm. We can do a potluck type thing of healthy snacks. I am going to do soy chips ... maybe we could all volunteer to bring some items such as water, cheese, deli meat, etc., some healthy protein items and maybe even some fresh fruit. Also, if it turns out to be a decent day outside and anyone is up for it, we also have a tennis court and basketball courts ... that could be quite interesting to say the least. lol So, we are at 317 30th Street - Brentwood Estates, in Springfield. When you enter the complex, follow the driveway down to the basketball/tennis courts. The rec room is in the main building that is right in front of you as you drive down the driveway and you can see it thru the window ... there is also a gym right there in the same building as well. If anyone wants my phone number for further info, just send me a private message and I will give it to you that way. I think this will be lots of fun and it makes it easier to mix and mingle than a restaurant does ... and a nice long time too.

This sounds like great fun, but I will have to pass this time. It's my weekend with my kids, so traveling is out of the question. I hope you do it again, though, because I'd like to come meet all of you! BTW, I'm attending a Naked Lady Party on Friday. It's not with a weight loss group, but there are people of all sizes coming. I'm bringing some clothes. And hope to find some that fit me. I'm excited!

Kim, We are hoping to do something every month. It is so great to meet a bunch of different people who are going through the same things we are. It would be great to have you join us next time then. What is a naked lady party? I've not heard of that before.

It's a bunch of women who bring clothes that don't fit and they all exchange. This one is very organized with rounders for the clothes to hang on. I think it originated with clothes being deposited in a pile on the floor. Then the women jump on the pile and scrap for the clothes they want, whip off their clothes and start trying on new ones right there! LOL! I don't know how wild it will get. I certainly don't plan on getting naked! But that's where the naked part of the name came from. Should be an experience!

That sounds absolutely wild!! Have fun. Let us know how it goes. Maybe we will do that down here. lol

funny, last nite after the meeting, i suggested to Darla that maybe "kim" would like to arrange there gatherings. And POOF there if was this am. I'm happy to do whatever, whenever. I'd also like to talk to you about the list that i gathered at brkfst. I'll call you later. Thanks so much for arranging this Nancy

Oh, that is toooo funny! I would be happy to take care of it. Maybe we can even do some get togethers rotating through each others' houses. HAAA!! Give me a call and we can discuss the list. Talk to ya soon!

That sounds great Kim! Nice chunk of time for people to stop by. I originally thought of Julia when figuring on the time, since she was the one to start the idea of getting together anyway. I'm in the process of cleaning out my house, so I'll check to see if there are any clothes I don't want anymore that I could bring. Linda
