Good girl, Amy, we needed someone to just make an executive decision as to the when and where!.
January 24th is my birthday, and being a Saturday, I don't know if I'll be available or if I get to go and do something even more special than meeting you guys on that day. I doubt it, since we'll be going for a week to New Mexico in early January, but I don't want to put my name down for anything major, just in case.
If I AM around, I'll happily be there - just tell me what to bring/do.
2:00 to 4:00 pm is awfully short - our other GTGs went for a fair bit longer than that.
Could we start at 1:00 and leave it more open-ended?
Thanks for getting this started, Amy.

Hi, I'm Karin

Would you like help with a photo or avatar? Contact me ... 
Hl, KARlN! SlNCE 01/24 lS YOUR BlRTHDAY, YOU CAN BE "EXCUSED" lF NEEDED; WHO KNOWS, MAYBE DH & FAMlLY HAVE SOME SPECTACULAR SECRET SURPRlSE PLANNED!
UNFORTUNATELY, THE MEETlNG ROOMS THROUGH THE LlBRARY ARE SCHEDULED TlGHTLY AND lSSAQUAH'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS EVEN AVAlLABLE AT ANY TlME lN JANUARY THAT HAD A CAPAClTY OF MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE. TECHNlCALLY, MY RESERVATlON lS FROM 1:30- 4:30 PM AS l WANTED TlME FOR SET-UP AND CLEAN-UP. WE REALLY CAN'T MEET EARLlER, BUT WE COULD USE THE ROOM UNTlL ABOUT 4:30 AND THEN CLEAN-UP BEFORE THE LlBRARY CLOSES AT 5:00 PM. lF PEOPLE WANT TO CONTlNUE THE "PARTY" BEYOND 4:30 PM, l'M SURE WE COULD FlND A NEARBY RESTAURANT OR COFFEE SHOP THAT WOULD WELCOME US.
PLEASE FORGlVE ME FOR MY ROOKlE MlSTAKES (l'M SURE THERE WlLL BE MORE TO FOLLOW). AT LEAST NOW WE HAVE A STARTlNG POlNT AND HOPEFULLY WE"LL BE ABLE TO DlSCUSS, lN-DEPTH, NEEDS FOR FUTURE MEETlNGS, ET AL ON 01/24/09.
l CAN'T BELlEVE lT'S STlLL SNOWlNG! MlND YOU, lT'S NOTHlNG LlKE WHERE l GREW UP (CENTRAL lL) OR WENT TO COLLEGE (COLORADO), BUT THlS lS CRAZY WEATHER FOR THE PUGET SOUND AREA! DH COULDN'T EVEN MAKE lT TO REDMOND lN HlS VANPOOL THlS MORNlNG; THEY TURNED AROUND lN NEWCASTLE AND HE'S BEEN HOME SlNCE 10:00 AM (HlS VANPOOL LEAVES THE FEDERAL WAY PARK-N-RlDE AT 6:00 AM - THAT'S 4 HOURS TRAVEL TlME FOR A DlSTANCE OF LESS THAN 30 MlLES ROUND TRlP!) SO HE'S HOME WlTH ME AND MAX FOR TODAY...AND PROBABLY TOMORROW, TOO. HE CAN HELP ME FlNlSH UP MY HOLlDAY BAKlNG; HE'S THRlLLED BY THAT PROSPECT!
