HotrodLarrys: I think you Aliens (Kidding) would be welcomed too, and i think we would be missing out to NOT allow You Ladies, Tho it May be Ladies Only
HotrodLarrys: Myself, I hate to wait 6-7 months to have a Meet, to me before winter would be more acomadating, yea, like soon!
or maybe one sooner and one later...... who wants to wit 7 months, that sounds almost silly, we arent getting any younger u kno
Maybe me and you Scuba
You, me, what? plan this? Larry, I'm flip-flopping between Germany and France right now. It would make much more sense for someone in the US to do this. Realistically, I'll drive to a place in the north-east in Nov/early Dec, but it's just too much stress to add another long distance trip to the schedule, to be honest.
What I can do is organize one in Honolulu in Feb or March if enough people were interested.
tennesseejudy: It would be fun, but where and when?
One of the locations claimed to be the Geographic Center of the Contiguous (or Conterminous) United States is pinpointed by a historical marker that is located within a small park near the town of Lebanon, Kansas. There is generally an American flag flying on the pole placed on top of the monument. Just to the south of the monument, yards away, exists a covered picnic area and small four-pew chapel where a couple can take wedding vows if they wish. or renew in many cases...
Anytime or anyplace as long as you're there Judy, It's all good.

I love Hawaii... I will show up if someone organizes it! Put me down as guaranteed attendee.

I have Been Talking with Judy and agree that a Central Location would be the most convienent for Most, and I Do Live in the Central Region of The USA, I do have some Connections, Tho I was asked BY JUDY to Do The Scheduling.... As Her Work Schedule is a Factor, and She Doesnt Live Close to this Central USA This was TODAY! So I have been Reading about Many other Get togathers that have Failed, as Timing or whatever the reason, was generally Not enough People to attend, I am just Looking into OPTIONS starting today.... Just so everyone knows, I just Started TODAY..... Hawaii would be Great,tho I was looking at arround The last of March, or the Beginning Of April, I was Asked to set it in Spring so everyone has time to Schedule for Vacation time from work..... and that is Understandable! As I see ALOT of Effort to scheduling this event, and if enough dont attend it is a waste of EVERYBODYS time.... I will do My best, Tho if you were to do Hawaii, it MAY be an Obsticle to having a Good turn out.. Tho for Many, Hawaii would be a Costly adventure for some who may be on more of a fixed income..... Thats the Point of the Central location, is to try to acomadate, so MORE people Can attend, Which is the whole purpose.... Notthing is in Ink, But I DO plan to do a CENTRAL Meet, as I have read Many out of the way Get Togathers have Failed, as I have been Reading the Past Forums, for Reference.... so for the Minute, I am Doing Research, and Homework, I dont even have a View of a 2010 Calender yet.. Thanks Hotrod

I am in Research Mode!
Open to Coments and sugesting!
Getting a little excited there, huh? I only responded to your previous post. If you guys want to do central US, great.
I said Hawaii as an alternative because you mentioned you're thinking of one in the fall and one in the spring. It'd be an alternative.
I'm going to toast my buns on Waikiki one way or another, whether you guys are there or not One thing at a time though. First the continental US one. Have fun w/the research.
caspatch: midwest is tornado season in spring just keep it in mind
Well, OZ might be a good place for this bunch..
I can hear it now "Mom turns 50, buys a red hat, goes off to the middle of nowhere with people she doesn't even know." Why do I see being put in the home for the bewildered somewhere in my future?

How's it going, Larry?
How about Dad drops everything, jumps in the van, and disappears for three months?

USThumper: Yeah, but Ive been tempted to do it in my van.
I am Still Kikin Just kinda Busy, for a Couple of Day, I have also done alot of thinking, and YES it does take ALOT of Brain work, and Time to set something up.
Sooner sounds Good, But Planing on Short Time frame, is Going to be Caotic! I can see the Need for Many to Schedule Vacation time and Prepare, save Money , or whatever the situation.... I do see a quickly Planned Event, being Stressed, Pressured, and Possibly a Failure.....
So I will Give that Credit to Judy, For Months in Advance: Days, Weeks, and Months, Fly By Quickly since I made 21
I have never Scheduled more than a Fishing Trip, and That was DO we Have the Poles and Bait in The Car? OK Lets Go!!!!
Well I did have to Be On Time, When I was Born 2 weeks Late!

sassy49senior: Judy, what a sweetheart you are to care about so many of us. As of right now I can not travel any distance until my knee surgery. It is now scheduled for Oct.22nd. But please, if everyone wants to meet before Christmas do it. I also want to meet so many of you. I don't really care myself if it is a place where there are not a lot of things to do. Just sitting around drinking some of my famous Sassy luv coffee and chatting to get to know one another is enough for me.
Hi Sassy, I need a cup of Sassy LUV coffee, Cupid is just wasting his arrows on me right now.
tennesseejudy: Don't rush Larry, you have a few months now...You are a dear!
Thanks Judy!!!! Need all the help I can Get!
Yes I do want to take time, and Organise the best of My ability, and Not Miss any Details, I have a Very Good Friend Joe, and we Discussed this today, like do's and Dont's, as for Insurances purposes..... Having it In Public Domain, and Not on Private Property that would make Me Liable for any Mishaps.... as a Motel Is Covered, as the Meeting Rooms... Over a Part on private property, so I am looking at that aspect First....
The main thing will be finalising The Date... and Which Motels are Best Equipt.... If all works I would Consider a Band for the Day 2, Sat Night, but No Promises....
All I need is Everyones Support, and have Confidence that I will Lead with My Best Foot Foreward! Knowing 2 people who work at the airport can give me alot More insight.....
With some positive and Dedicated People, we Can Have The Best One Ever.... Just Be Patient as I "Donate My Efforts" to Make a Sucessful Get Togather
tennesseejudy: Let us know what you need us/me to do.
Just Encourage it, and Support it Must Be #1, Keep Peace, Positive and Pleasant, would be Great, Actually speaking of a Loving atmosphere.....With a Splash of Romance Too!
It will take time to Get all of the details worked out, If and when I need Help, I will let you Know!
Once i post the Final Dates and Sugested Motel Acomadations, we will see how many sign up.... and just go from the results of that.... to Make adjustments acordingly....
If You could wish me a few more words per Minute on my Typing would be Nice, Ha
