Anyone interested in meeting at a certain time or place to say " hi " to

others from this message board - I would love to meet you all

Any thoughts or ideas on how this could possibly work - My mother will be

attending with me and we're flying in Thursday and will be leaving Sunday

morning - We'll be staying at the Ramada Inn

I'd love to meet up - I'll be staying with my SIL in Pittsburgh but will be

renting a car to get around so can meet anywhere! Is anyone going to the dinner

on Saturday (I'm assuming that's still going to happen)?

Seems like we're all flying in on Thursday - my flight on USAirways is supposed

to get into Pittsburgh at 4:57 p.m. (I'm flying out again on Saturday and may

actually have to cut out of the conference a tad early). Would really love to

meet up but don't know enough about Pittsburgh to pick a time or place. I could

get some info from my SIL or we could just look at the conference schedule and

set something up that way.

Hi, -

What about the family dinner on Friday night? That might give us more time

to chat and stuff? Just a thought.

registered. I hope I could maybe do that on the day.

Hi, -

Yep, the family dinner would be good but if you can't get a reservation

we'll figure something else out. Dh, Josh and won't be coming with -

just me but I made a reservation for the dinner for my SIL so she can truly get

an idea of what's going on in Josh's (and our) life from perspectives other than

ours - I hope she actually will come with! You know what I mean? It's one

thing to try to explain the therapies, the behaviors, the whatevers to family

and friends but it's another thing when they hear the same things from other

people about their kids - it makes them understand, I think, that we are not

crazy or being overly dramatic or something like that when we try to talk to

them about Josh and everything that goes on at our house (like therapies SSOOO

many times a week, the fights with school systems, etc.).

Hi All Pittsburgh-goers!!!

Meeting up at the registration area on Friday at lunch is a great idea! How

about everyone wearing a little cherub (CHERAB) pin or something that would

indicate our connection with the CHERAB Foundation/this email line???

Hi! We just got back from vacation late last night - I only had a few

minutes to sift through the 100+ emails but I was so happy to see that you

are interested in meeting up at some point. I think lunch on Friday sounds

great and then if the group wants to continue getting together throughout

the weekend, we can firm things up at that point or...at least we'll be able

to recognize one another to say, " Hey...do you want to sit here with us? " I

don't know...what do the rest of you think?

Since we'll be in conference that day, breaking at the same time most

likely, we should plan a place to meet. Now...I'm not sure if they're

providing the lunch or not but...it probably would have been a good idea for

me to have looked into that before I posted - I'm just in a hurry to get

on the bus now - Do you think we should say that we'll meet at the

Registration Desk (wherever we originally signed in) as soon as we break for

lunch? Perhaps we can all me holding a pen or something silly like that so

we can find one another - Any ideas? Help...it's too early for my brain

right now

hi,

that sounds great!!!meeting by the regi desk is good. I'm not shy I could

scream out loud " HEY CHERUB'S!!!!!! " LOL just kidding. I think I have a cherub

statue i could bring or just buy a cherub pin.

let me know

hey sherry,

ok, we'll try it, if not maybe coffee later. I totally understand what your

saying. had one his days at my aunt's house, and people I think gained a

new respect for me. and understood why I was crying at the end of the day. I

looooove them to live one day with when he's at his worst so they could

see.
