Eugene/Springfield Support group meeting on 4/29/2007

Ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to inform you that I am going to have to cancel our get together that we planned for Sunday, 4/29. I am moving out of our apartment complex and into a home we are purchasing that following weekend and so I have to work the weekend of 4/28 and 4/29 and also the weekend before that. Also, unfortunately we are going to have to find another place to meet every month as I won't have access to the rec center here at my complex anymore. I am open to ideas/suggestions if anyone has anything to offer. Sorry about this but my home is not large enough for this ever expanding group of friends. If anyone has a large house and would like to host the get togethers, we could do something like that as well. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Kim

Kim, as I said in my e-mail to you, I am really happy about your house but sad to lose the rec room. We will find somewhere else to meet I am sure. O.K. everyone---any ideas??? Julia

Thanks, Julia. I was thiking maybe we could meet at my house in the summer months as we would have the backyard. So maybe even to plan a May meeting at my house if nothing else is thought of by then. I am open to suggestions.

Kim, are you still going to Irvine? I hope so as I was looking forward to hearing about it. Getting packed and ready to move though, might make it hard to do. Julia

Oh yes, most definitely. Airline ticket is already bought, event tickets bought. I will be there with bells on. lol

Well Kim, that was a really cool place to meet, but your having your own house is even cooler! I also have a large back yard, so maybe we can meet here in the summer also. My house is pretty tiny though, so I couldn't hold everyone here. If worse came to worse, I do work at the UO and our department has a conference room that holds about 18 people. Only problems would be making sure folks could get in the building on a Saturday and of course, the nightmare parking around the UO! Any other ideas folks? Linda

I think that we should have a get together anyway.....some location (even a restaurant again)........some date........as the most important thing about these get togethers are:: talking & learning about how to deal with our new bodies/food. I would hate to miss a month, just because we don't have a LARGE & AWESOME meeting place. Anyone know of a restaurant with a large round table? Last month, the number of people that attended, could easily sit around a large round table. All my Saturdays & Sundays are "open" at this time....how about everyone else??? Jackie

Just let me know what you guys figure out and if you want me to leave the clothes with someone as my weekends are all pretty much taken up with work and packing. I can probably stop by wherever the gathering ends up being to deliver the clothes and gab for a few minutes.

I agree Jackie, I was thinking the same thing. We need to meet if we can or we might not recognize each other in 2 months!! I will do my best to come where ever we meet and when ever it is. Julia

Hi Jackie I was thinking about going to the park with a snak pak. Also the Ocean Sky resturant on Chambers and 17th has a big round table that we could all get arround. Jo Ann
