So, we have a bunch of girls that live "up here".

How's about an early Spring Get Together? (As in when the weather is way better for traveling, so I hope!).

I was thinking we could get together in Hartford, CT. I work there and finding a nice place w/ food and drinks is a no brainier! It is an hour away from my house in MA; and if you are worried about traveling, I have gone as far as driving between 45m. and up to 2 and 1/2 hours if not more.

Any one aboard on this one? (And off course, any surrounding states are more than welcome to join us).

Look forward to hear from you.

On my very first Get Together back in December 2004 in New York City (and through the BC.Org), we did a fun "Chinese Grab Bag"; I would like to suggest that we do the same because it was a lot of fun, everyone kept on stealing my gift!! If that is okay with you girls, the max. to spend would be $10/$15.

Actually, I have several restaurants in mind that come w/ free parking and are not far at all from Route 91N/S. So, I guess as soon as we narrow down the place (State), we aim for the date and other activities that w/ take place at our Get Together. NaughtybyNature aka LILIAlicious - Class of 9/2003

Let me know what you think about this restaurant: www.pazzohof.com For about $20 to $25 we can have a nice lunch (soft drink, lunch, dessert and tip included). This place is located right at the Basketball Hall of Fame, so if you are traveling with your significant other(s) they can go the BHF and enjoy themselves while we get to know eachother and trade "war" stories. drw: let me see what we can come up with as to traveling arrangements for you. PS: Now that we have a place, lets work on a date for the Spring, preferably a Saturday or Sunday. I was thinking may be mid April (I am not available at the end) or beginning of May. What do you girls think? NaughtybyNature aka LILIAlicious - Class of 9/5/2003

I am probably going to be starting chemo in late March, so I have no idea how I'm going to be feeling in April/May, but if I'm up to it then I might be able to join you. I'm a single mom with an almost-7-year-old, so it would also depend on whether or not my son is with his father that weekend. Thanks!

Of course Springfield works perfectly for me. I would love to meet some fellow New Englanders! I can do any week but the week of April 12-19, will be at a conference in California. (so April 12 no good). Otherwise, all ok. My online support group here (Feb 07 chemo cruisers) are meeting in Florida next week. This is so exciting- to meet people who have had similar experiences. Thanks so much for doing this, Lilia. Regards.
