| | | Sweet mini-meet 2008 Vegas Style
A few of us from last year will be in Vegas again at the same bat time, same bat place. Which will be June 22 (Sunday!  to June 28). I have a SWEET hookup or suites there at unbelievable rates cause they know what we are doing with the suite. I can fit 2-3 three others in my suite (HQ's) and welcome you to stay with me.
Viva Las Vegas! |

| | Right on guys and gals Hopefully Jen will come again as well and we see her. Wish Kevin could be there as I actually would play golf next time lol, but he has the big greet to run. Maybe we can connect video between the mini greet in which people can't make it back east to the big one.
So glad we get to party again! wooot!
I'll be working at a camp during the summer and this is my vacation from it! If anyone wants me to bring a doctor to it, a nurse, or a dietician let me know. Right at this time is when most want a week or two break from being up in the woods and I am sure would love to give us a casual education lesson. Plus they are really cool. I'll try to get the DYF to donate some supplies for us as well as vendors stock the camp up beyond what is needed; from sets, strips, needles, meters, insulins, you name it.
If anyone wants to stay in HQ let me know. I still have 2 contacts at harrah's that were very interested in helping us out when the ambassador called me down to meet with her about rates. She hooked me up last time I went solo too .
I enjoy staying with people more then rooming bymyself. So PLEASE stay with me if you can!!! If everyone puts in what they would for a regular hotel there I am very confident we can get a couple bedroom suite (ill sleep on a cot if I must) with a few bathrooms. If you can't afford it i'll find a way for you to stay free with me.
Car, Dew, Rikki(maybe hubby can come next time?), it was such a pleasure to meet you. It felt like we knew each other for years. Kev, you will be missed and felt the same way, but hope we can set up a video feed if possible!! |

| | Bri, if hubby and kids don't make it this time, I'll room with you. I will do anything to save money, that's why I stayed at Circus Circus last time...it's cheap.
I'll let you know when it gets closer whether they're going or not. |

Actually, due to some "fancy-footwork" by Kevin, the 2008 Meet & Greet at Myrtle Beach has been moved to a different week so as not to be at the same time as the Vegas meet. This way if anyone wants to do both events, it can be done.
Here's a link for the new date: Meet & Greet 2008 - Myrtle Beach
Hopefully BOTH events will have a great turnout. Can't wait to put names to faces!

| | I only get 1 week off during the summer  and I currently don't make the money I used too otherwise I would be there in a hearbeat.
Kevin any chance you are going to both? Be dope to have the original crew there and a few others.
We gotta do Dialife and group photos this time!
I looked forward to this event all last year and am thinking about getting my tickets now!! lol. I got a 1000$ giftcard from paris cause when we ordered the party platters and drinks it entered us into a business drawing and we won a 1000$ giftcard there! This will be put towards HQ and hopefully where everyone stays!!!
I'll be asking Dew and Car to help me with a schedule so we have activities on a daily basis. I >promise< to only miss one event if I hook up with a chick this time!! |

1) I only get 12 days of vacation a year and only take 10 (I have to take 10 a year at my job and carry over the rest so down the road when I have a family I'll have lots of time saved up.) And taking 2 weeks off of work would eat through most of my time then making me unable to go on the Mission trip with my church next year to Peru.
2) Taking 2 vacations in a month, heck, in 6 months, would really push my budget. That would cost me almost $2000 in one month, which in my opinion is outrageous to spend on a vacation.
3) While Vegas is fun, there's not enough to do there besides gambling or seeing shows to be worth going back 2 years in a row. And I'm not a huge gambler and won't pay money to see shows out there since I believe they are too outrageous.
So I'll be unable to make Vegas although I hope it's fun.

| | | It's not looking like I will make it this time round. I am planning a trip to Taiwan in April, so that's sucking up all my money and vacation time for, oh, I'd guess the next ~2 years, lol!

For all the people that are voting no on this mini greet better because you are back east (eastish? lol) and going to Myrtl Beach!
Go to any greet whether its one of the mini's or the colossoul. You will be glad you did!
Why would you not want to attend one?! |

I wish I could do more than one big vacation more than once every 1-2 years so I could hit Vegas too! We need to be more like Europe.
