We are getting excited! Did you hear that Reldon is coming? And Linda P and Linda C are coming too? And to all the lurkers out there, this is a great time to get acquainted with us. Sign up on the forum and join us on July 31st - you won't be disappointed, we are a great group (I think you know that already) and you will definitely have a fun time :D

I'm sorry that not everyone can make it. We certainly understand how busy things get, but be sure to check in for the pictures and after party reports on the 1st :)

I saw that Reldon confirmed on facebook. I read that Linda P was hoping to come but I did not know that she was coming and bringing Linda C too. It will be great to see all of them!!! :cool: It's been way too long!

By the way, once again each member will get a free raffle ticket towards one of 4, $25.00 gas cards, and one $10.00 gas card. So who knows, you might get a partial tank of gas for the ride home :)

I'm officially planning to be there with Joan and Herbie Altman, perhaps more, a car full even? Annette cannot make it though.

So glad to hear that we will have such a nice turnout. Would be great if you can make it HostaDesigner! I'll even get some Lite beer for you ;)

The forecast is calling for a slight chance of rain which would be the first time we've had rain during the event after 8 meetings. But we have plenty of room indoors if that is the case, and we will still have a great day. Might have to browse the growing areas between raindrops, that's all, and considering how "accurate" the weathermen are, I bet it will be sunny all day anyway!

See you on Saturday (or Friday afternoon/evening if you get to the area early :D )
