Thanks for posting this Linda - I was wondering if it was happening this year. Couldn't remember when it was exactly last year.

Linda, I just might show up. I usually try to make it--great group of folks.
We have had so much "stuff" going on this year ( I know, so do you!) that I was going to write it off, but I may see you that day after all!! :D
