missingcharlie Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I still would like to very much! Let's try for April 12th, since Kathy (Bebekat) has that day off. I am able to make my own schedule at work, now, so I will get that day off. I'm going to have to go back over these posts and see where it is people want to meet. Probably will be central Phoenix of some sort....Have the best day possible!Hugs.Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest moparlicious Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi, All Saturdays are good for me, April 12th would be perfect. I am on 11th ave and greenway. Would love to meet you all!!!! Love, Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertBob Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Well I think we are all agreed that the 12th is as good a day as any, now we just need a location. Patti, you get first pick ... let's try and nail something down before it gets away from us ;-)--Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingcharlie Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 The "pick" doesn't matter to me. I am going to contact The Big Apple today, as someone had suggested, and see if they have semi private rooms. I will let you all know what I find out.Hope your day is pleasant!Hugs.Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Patti, the Big Apple has several large tables that will accommodate 8 or 10 people easily. A small section is semi private since it is behind a half wall and has a large table plus booths. There is also an even more private room sectioned off that the servers sometimes refer to as The Jail. It has a large table that will seat at least 8 and also has 2 (maybe three)booths.The big Apple would be a good choice as it's easily accessible just West of I-17, it's bigger and isn't as overcrowded on weekends as many restaurants are. From 2PM on it's pretty quiet until the dinner crowd arrives. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingcharlie Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Carol - So do we need to reserve anything or just go there around 1:30?Can all of you that want to meet let me know so we know approximately how many will be there?Thanks! I'm so excited about meeting you all!!!Hugs.Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertBob Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm in.--Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarrysGirl Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Gosh, no fair you guys!!! I'm out here on the east coast. How exciting this is for all you Arizona members! Somebody take some pictures! All joking aside hope you have a great time! Deborah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Talk about coincidence. My daughter just happened to be at the Big Apple as I was reading this; so I called her and asked her to find out for me. They do take reservations and they only need a couple of days notice. As soon as we know how many to expect, I'll be happy to take care of the reservations since I'm in there at least a couple of times a week. The address is 3101 W. Indian School Rd. It's on the SW corner of 31st ave and Indian School road. Easy access at the stop light. Here's a link to their website and a map for anyone that may need it. http://www.billjohnsons.com/I'm in! And I look forward to meeting everyone too!Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorikelly Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Make sure you take pictures and post them so we can all feel part of it. i hope you all have a wonderful time. lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingcharlie Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I appreciate your help, Tori! You know, I'm IN!! I would count Kathy (Bebekat) in. I will email her and I will try to email the others and see how many we can get to come. I would think it would be around 8-10.So, let's say 1:30pm on Sat. 4/12 at Bill Johnson's Big Apple at 31st Ave. & Indian School. Sounds good to me!!Have the best day possible.Hugs!!Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebekat Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I wanted to put out there that if anyone wants to go but doesn't have a ride, I would be glad to pick you up. I live in Central Phx but don't mind driving a little. I have a friend from work that might come with me. I'll try to check the board more often in case anyone needs a ride.

missingcharlie Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Appreciate that, Kathy!!! And if it's Patty that is coming with you, ABSOLUTELY!!!!See you all soon!Hugs.Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 We're all set! I made reservations for 10 and if we go over that number they can still easily accomodate us. She looked a little dismayed when she asked how many seperate checks there would be and I replied "10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingcharlie Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Tori - Thank you so much!!! I'm getting so excited and might I add, a bit nervous...... I guess it's anxious, not nervous.I would have loved to have seen her face about the separate bills! That's too funny!!! So...anyone that wants to join us is more than welcome!!Gotta get off to work, so will chat again later.Hugs to all! By the way...we DO need to make sure SOMEONE has a camera that we can take some pictures and post them on here for the others. I HAVE a camera, but I am by no means a "camera buff" plus I have no clue how to get them onto my computer. Maybe someone else can help us out on this?Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tori Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Just a reminder for our get together on Saturday at 1:30. My brother in law may come with me. He lost his wife last month and is having open heart surgery on the 18th so he could sure use some support too. He doesn't use a computer so he's a little leary since he doesn't quite understand how I can be looking forward to meeting people I've never met. A discussion board is a little difficult to describe to someone that has never used a computer. The address is 3101 W. Indian School Rd. It's on the SW corner of 31st ave and Indian School road. Easy access at the stop light. Here's a link to their website and a map for anyone that may need it. http://www.billjohnsons.com/Hope to see many of you there! Don't forget the camera Bob!

Guest moparlicious Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi all,Count Moparlicious,AKA Kim in. Looking forward to meeting you and I hope it is ok I bring my daughter, I know this is for spouses, but she is my buddy and misses her dad alot. She brings me much joy and I know she will you also. Do we just ask for ???????? See you all this weekend, can't wait to meet you all, very exciting. Love, Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm glad you asked Kim. The reservation is in my name, Carol! I've requested the larger semi-private section on the west end of the building since we've had some additions and my daughter informed me today that she might join us too. I hope everyone that's expressed an interest is able to make it! This is all new to me and I'm a little nervous. How will we recognize each other and remember each others names?

missingcharlie Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 We could all wear those sticky name tags!?!?!?! Ha!! Just joking. I'm sure that we will get together just fine. We may just have to ask each other a few times what our names are. Personally, I'm very excited! We should bring a picture of our loved ones.....Don't forget the camera, Desert Bob.See you all around 1:30 today.Hugs.Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moparlicious Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi all,Sorry I did not make it, woke up this morning very ill, with a fever. I missed you all very much. We should make this a monthly thing and try different locations or every other month. Love you all, Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingcharlie Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 We missed you, too, Kim! We kept looking for you... I very much enjoyed meeting everyone that came. It's nice to be able to put a face with a name when you're writing. We already talked about it and have all agreed to meet again. I'm not certain that I can do it monthly - with work and my other widow lunch, but would love to do it every other month or every couple of months; something like that.I know that Bob has a picture of all of us. I'm sure he will get it on here soon.Hugs to all.Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyJ Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 So tell us all about today guys...who was able to go and what did you guys do and talk about. The rest of us ( I know I am ) are so jealous and want to know everything so we can feel like we were there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
