Jan, I hope you're willing to make the trek some time as this is going to be a wonderful meetup and worth the trip. It's too early to know if the meetups will be migratory! Since the first meetup has 26 women coming, I may need to find a large enough and permanent space (and possibly pay rent) to accommodate the numbers.

Welcome, Jan, to our new meetup group! Enjoy your granddaughter's play, and I look forward to meeting you soon. It's shaping up to be a diverse and interesting group of women.

Thanks, Jan. There's so much we can do (and still eat!). I'm going to post another attempt at a weekly walk-and-brunch. Harriet S. and I thought a "bargain shop and lunch" event might be fun. Ocean State, Xmas Tree Shop, etc. are a hoot. In the summer, there are craft shows, open-air markets like SoWa, fairs, oldies concerts. And people still can eat before/after. While you're in charge during Terri's recovery, maybe you can come up with some events that include instead of focus on dining out.
