Sweet Meet 2008 Vegas Style.

[Carwy]

Okay first off this is only a thread to see when people would be able to attend Sweet Meet 2008 Vegas Style.
We already know it will be in Las Vegas, NV. the place will not change and it is not part of the meet and greet on the east coast.

So now we need to see when to hold it. Brion and I think in January, February or March. However we do understand that some people may not be able to go at that time.
If you want to go and can not do it in those months please please give a detailed reason as to why and when would work best for you.
People this is your time to go to Vegas and have fun and learn a little about the research and what is coming out soon for diabetes.

Well....lol.....I was going to say February, cause my B-day's then, but I'd love to take hubby there for his, so March it is (for me).

That said, I'm always flexible, so if others want it to be earlier or even a little later, that'd work for me, too. I tend to live life "on the fly," anyway. :D

[Keezheekoni]

I have kids and a husband who wants to come...can't do any meet and greet until the summer. :( Hearing that there would be one in Vegas again was great because I can't afford going to the east coast with everyone...Vegas we could do.

However, if it's only me going (which I doubt), then I'd have to say March, preferably late March. We get our taxes back then. :)

[BriOnH]

ohhh taxes back in march!! That's a good point. March for me too.

I have some contacts that I made at the harrahs hotels (like 3-4 hotels right by each other) on the strip that I made last time I was out there with some pricing. We, are going to make this trip as affordable as possible for everyone attending as humanly possibly, in comfort.

[Cyborg]

Can't do those months as my kids are still in school...

[Dewey]

Hmmm, I had a bright idea (if only for a moment, lol) about Spring break, but then remembered that different schools have spring breaks at different times. :( D'oh!

I'd love to all get together & meet some new friends from near & far. Perhaps if you & Cyborg could give time frames that could work for you & your families, we could all brainstorm on them? :)

[Cyborg]

My kids last day of school is June 6th. They return to school August 18th...

[Carwy]

For those of you wanting to go and can not go in these months. Please Please reply with the best time for you and your family. These months are not set in stone. As Rikki says she can not go because of children to school and also she can not afford to go to the east coast. So now you have given a reason but not give us an alternate time frame. I do not care when just give us a time frame like Cyborg.

My kids last day of school is June 6th. They return to school August 18th...

This tells me he wants to go but between these dates. This will help us set a date known when people can go and went to go. Like I said the only thing that is in stone at this point is the location.

I always have our tax's back by the end of January. :confused:

I don't pick 2008 vacation for work until November this year, so I can't comment until then. However if I can get the time off when it happens, the wife and I will be attending.

Troy's company doesn't send out the W2 until the last day of January. Our mortgage company didn't send last year's until mid-February. I know that there's some IRS rule that says they are supposed to be out by 1/31, but it seems that we don't get ours that early... Anyhow, the earliest we get our refund is usually end of Feb to early Mar.

Okay, so looking at the school calendar... Spring break is Apr. 7-11. School lets out June 20. Chris will not go to Atlanta next summer, but Tania will. She normally leaves the weekend school lets out, so unless we do Spring Break in Vegas, she won't come.

School starts up in 2008 the day after Labor Day.

I don't get any vacation from this new job until mid July.

[jjames]

I only get 5 days a year . . . and I save those to go up to see family for Christmas. :( Bummer!

[andypoo]

[Tim_Roy]

Anytime's fine with me. I live here.

[Penny]

Anytime's fine with me. I live here.


Do you have room for all of us to visit? :D

[WoNdErFuL MoMmY]

All the meets are too far for ct member's...wish there was a meet and greet somewhere in CT.:(

[Dewey]

Just wanted to give an update...

Some circumstances have arisen that are beyond anyone's control. As a result, I decided that the Vegas Meet & Greet for 2008 should probably be scrapped. If anyone would like to turn it into a mini meet & greet, please post here & I'll see what can be worked out to make it happen. Sorry for any inconvenience.

[Cyborg]

Is this the same Meet and Greet that Brian was putting together?

[BriOnH]

Is this the same Meet and Greet that Brian was putting together?

Indeed it was and will be there in the same place in 2008 if anyone cares to join me. If anyone is down for a minigreet; I'll be working at BSM Camp and that is the perfect week to leave living in the woods and going to get pampered. If anyone can't make the other event, whether it be logistical or goegraphic regions; and by some miracle vegas is better for you, you know where to find me ;) .

The 2 meet and greet ideas were scrapped for many reasons, so it's just 1 big with mini greets.

The big official greet is a lot closer :) . Shouldn't miss it if you can be there.

[Carwy]

You know it BriOnH I'll be there.

[BriOnH]

You know it BriOnH I'll be there.

Word Car. Look forward to seeing you then if not sooner.
