***All Hand's Meeting - Update***

[ShawnMarie]

***This will be crossposted to Musettes***

Thank you to everyone who contacted me regarding the all hand's meeting .... where are the rest of you???? There are many I did not hear from. :(

The date is set as Sunday, April 24 and I believe 1pm is the start time. We will be converging on Leah's place. Leah, I know you have given directions many times... but can you do it again? I'll add them to the meeting listing in Musette's so they are there as well.

Also on a travel note, for those in Central PA, Betty has mentioned carpooling from Lancaster. Contact her if you are interested.

I received affirmatives from the following folks (please forgive me if I have listed you twice not realizing your Faire/real names. I still get very confused)

Planning on attending the meeting are:

Ysobelle
Leah (donating the space - Thank you!!)
Phoenix
Chloie
Stacey (maybe)
Debbie
MacKahlia
Shadow
Betty
Cupcake
A Dahling
Jay
Foxglove
Muffin
Lewen
Lady Sledge (said Sun would work better but ?)
Sabine/ShawnMarie (maybe)

That make 15 (17 with maybes)and at last calculation about 10 extras with spouses, kids etc.

Anyone else??????

Now that we have an idea of how many, how about we hear what goodies folks would like to bring? You can post here so everyone can see and I will crosspost to Musettes.

Also, no one gave me ideas as to things they would like to discuss or do... so if anything crosses your mind, please speak up.

[Dragonfly]

Sheesh...I forgot. I will probably be carpooling with Foxglove.

Sorry.

[ShawnMarie]

We've also gotten a maybe from Scott so that makes:

16 for sure and 19 with maybes. Plus an extra 10 or so for good measure. :)

Anybody else?

[DangerousCurves]

I'm planning on being there...someone kick me in the head when the time gets near so I remember...I haven't been on much lately, trying to remedy that.

[Lewen]

I can bring a fruit tray and a vegetable tray! :)

[Alianne]

Anyone who needs directions, please PM me.

I'll be happy to either provide my address for Mapquesting or give more specific dirctions, but won't do either in a public forum.

I'll be supplying paper/goods/disposable cups.

Anything else, y'all are on your own. :) :) :)

I've already started systematically brushing the cats, especially the two kittens. Turns out they're both winter shedders (our older two cats are short-haired and aren't huge shedders)...and since they both have Persian in their bloodline (they're sisters from the same litter), they're leaving a *lot* of old fur in the brush. Hopefully, that will cut down the potential for problems with any of y'all who are allergic.

The Demi-god brushes himself, so no worries there. ;)

[Phoenix McHeit]

PM sent! So excited to see everybody again!!!

[ShawnMarie]

Lady Sledge and Ken will be there for sure and will be bringing dessert... and also it now appears that Carrie can make it too - and she'd like to bring wine.

Beginning to sound like a party :D

Lady Sledge has also asked that we discuss the songs for singing this year so we can all get to learning them.

[Alianne]

Wow! We're getting quite a turn out.

I'm thinking if anyone has folding chairs, you might want to bring them.....

Leah, D and I will be coming with JuJu....

not that I need to warn you, but we are going to come and hang out early with you.......but we may need Jeff to make some more of the yummy alcohol slushies for us!!
