Okay, the votes are in and you've decided....there will be a get together on August 29th, 12:00 noon, at the Falls Creek Park Pavillion.
Phoenixsmom has taken on the job of organizing and coordinating everything. She asks that everyone let her know how many will be attending, so she can make sure there is food everyone. She would also like everyone to bring a covered dish if possible.
You can contact her by Private message on the board.

How'd the reunion turn out? Just wanted to tell everyone that Brucie (my little brother) and his wife, Robin, moved to North Carolina where he'll be teaching at one of the universities there! Yah! Bruce! Glad you're living closer to the ocean. And to your big sister!

I am so sorry the reunion did not turn out. I live pretty far and couldn't make it in today anyway, but I was hoping you had a good turn out. I hope you don't lose hope though and try again. I will probably get killed for this....... but I know LuAnn Snell Houston and Cindy Burkett Fritz are good at planning things and both work in Falls Creek, Cindy the borough and LuAnn is the tax collector. They could at least get the word out. Just give it another shot. Okay they can kill me now!

Thanks for the tips Barb. As far as I'm concerned, there is no hope to be lost. The whole thing was not my idea, and other than a couple forum posts I had nothing invested in it.
I guess my disappointment lies in the fact that the get together was inspired here, then was very poorly organized, or I guess not organized at all, and was associated with this site. The way it was handled is not how I do things. I had my doubts that any such gathering could be successful, considering the short notice and small size of the active membership here. But I was game to let it happen.
Now, if this site grows in membership, and more members become active, a gathering might be able to be held successfully sometime in the future. Of course it should be planned well in advance (maybe a year, at least 6 months) and have at least a couple dedicated organizers. Unfortunately I'm not physically able to help with the organization, I'm only here to run the site.
So for now I'll just focus on finding more members and dragging out more material. If I'm successful at that, the rest will become more likely to happen in the future.
