    Don't miss the good stuff! ;) Update Communication Settings to Receive Discussions (you might currently just be getting discussions related to the last meetup but miss something "topic" oriented or super important like a LUNCH invite :) Here's how... log in, click members, click edit communication settings, check the box that says message boards, click submit.
    Then...if you want to do lunch, post a walk or other group event, just start a discussion on that topic and everyone will get it.

    Thanks! If y'all do the bond park lake walk, my house is near the lake. We could stop there and have lunch or a snack if y'all want... Jan

    Hi Jan - happy to share my email with you and the group at large! Here 'tis: [masked].

    Wish I could come- it's right after cardiac rehab- afraid I'd slow everybody down! The game ( Journey to Olympus) is nearly ready- did another "rewrite" this weekend- I think it's done... maybe... ready for testing. Anybody interested? Thanks! Jan

    Melissa- going to try to get your email from Pam- I need to pick your brain about the game thing. Is that okay? Maybe you send it to Pam if you want me to have it. Thanks again, Jan

    Let's say Wednesday morning at 9:30 for the walk at Apex Pine. Let's start by the shelter at the parking lot off of the entrance at Laura Duncan Road. If anyone wants to join us and needs help figuring out where it is just let me know!

    Von - I'd love another walk at Bond Park next week!

    Nice idea Melissa. I can't make it this week but maybe next week we can do another one, that time at Bond Park, excellent trail all the way around the lake, very pretty. Right off High House near Cary Parkway. Have fun guys and see you next week sometime.

    Melissa, that sounds like a great idea. I'm open for any morning!

  • Melissa Short

    Hey ladies I was thinking about organizing a walk around Lake Pine at Apex Community Park some morning this week. Would anyone be interested? I'm not sure where else to post this that everyone will see :)

    Sounds great! As long as work doesn't hold me hostage, I'll be there too.

    I've been out of the loop for a bit, however, I have already started the new book, work not withstanding, I'll join you all on Friday to catch up!

    April 12, 2012

  • Von

    I'm game, see you there and anyone else who can come!

    Great idea. What about coffee next Friday April 20th at La Farm at 9:30 am? It is on the corner of Cary Parkway and High House. Any one available?

    April 12, 2012

  • Melissa Short

    I would love to do coffee or lunch too! I'm brand new to the area and definitely excited to have opportunities to go out to new places and meet new people.

    Jan... I tried to look into the picture problem you are having. I think maybe the original photo is oriented the wrong way? Maybe open up the original photo file, rotate it, save it and then upload it again to Meetup (by going to the Account dropdown in the header and choosing General and then Manage Photos).

  • Shawna Nash

    Please count me in on coffee or lunch! I would love to know more about everyone in the group!

  • Jan rowland

    I really enjoyed hanging out with you ladies and talking. What a great group! Von- count me in on any of those meeting for coffee or lunch thingies. Oh, can anybody tell me how to change my photo on this thing? It's sideways if you hadn't noticed! Thanks! Jan Looking forward to meeting Melissa and Susan...

    The book is Before I Go To Sleep, nice seeing you again!

    Was a really good conversation, would have liked to meet you, see you next time! Several of us usually game for coffee or lunch sometime if you just want to say hi and visit.

  • Melissa Short

    I'm sorry I missed you! I had this on my calendar for this morning somehow instead of yesterday. I even finished the whole book & was really looking forward to talking about it. Hope it went well!

  • Juanyetta

    I enjoyed our discussion! Hope to eventually finish the book. Pam - I've forgotten just that quick - did we decide on Defending Jacob?

    April 12, 2012

  • Shawna Nash

    I thought it was a great discussion. Pam is a great organizer and had questions for us to assist in our discussion.

    April 12, 2012

    Really good conversation, enjoyed it.

  • Jan rowland

    Sorry, Lisa... I look forward to meeting you next time. Many of us are at an age when our parents are needing our help. Hope the move goes peacefully. Jan R

    Hi Ladies, I was looking forward to joining the group tomorrow but I need to bow out. My mother is not well and I have had to move her to a nursing home in Greensboro (and out of her apartment of 17 years). As a result, I am only half way through the book and would not have much to offer to the discussion. Hopefully I can pull it together for next month. Lisa
