  • Hi John,

    Thank you for your kind offer but I seem to have gotten busy being in the midst of the holiday season. I do hope to attend future Meetups with your group and am looking forward to doing so.

  • I can't make it this weekend. My kids come home from college so I'm a bit tied up until after the holidays. I'll look forward to interesting adventures in food, wine and art into the new year! I have "wheels" so I'm up for any location!

  • Thanks for the greeting John. I like the concept of your group. I hope you will do some events in the City. I don't have a car and can't travel too far--next stop after the City of Philadelphia is Manhattan for me!
