- 2008 Gathering

[Guest guest]

Hi -

This gathering is in the making. I organized a gathering

in 2003 and it is time for another one. Last year someone

mentioned something to the affect of meeting...one thing

led to another and here we go again. So far we are still

trying to get a weekend narrowed down. We have a member

in Scotland that is coming to the States and a lot of this

depends on her time table...no pressure ! :-))

So, it seems there are 3 weekends in August that have

been put here as possibilities. All are Friday, Saturday,

and Sunday. The weekends are August 1-3, 8-20, and

15-17. So far members are able to voice their opinion

as to what works best for them.

Then we will focus on the 'where' of it all. Last time I asked

the group what would work best for everyone. It seems there

are a lot of midwesterners in the group. By any means does

this need to be held in the midwest, just worked out to be

that for the 2003 gathering. It was held in LaCrosse, WI.

Have a look at the photo's in the LBD site under 2003

Caregivers Gathering. I believe it is the first album in the

photo's.

Please ask any other questions and also any suggestions

and/or helpful hints are always welcomed.

I am trying to keep everything about the gathering to read

2008 Gathering in the subject line to alert anyone in case

they are looking for information.

Thank you for asking.

I see that you don't have any events scheduled for

this gathering, but for us new-comers, can you explain

what this gathering is about? what do you usually do?

Where it is going to be held?? I am interested in

being able to put faces to names, but need more info.
