How funny. I have a friend in Seattle (and one in Reno - - flight stopover? [;)]) from my July 2002 online playgroup. I'll be making the trip a 'two-for-one' as well! LOL

How are the meeting plans coming? I really am looking forward to it and seeing all of you ladies, bow down to the goddess of this site and just give everyone TONS of hugs. Oh, also go out for drinks....is Catherine coming? I don't know why I thought of that but I can really picture drinking with her and I really want to meet Nancy, Laura, Anne, ...gosh! Everyone!!!!

At the very least--we will have a Diva Weekend!! But we are just getting started trying to plan something. If you are on the East Coast, the HELLP Syndrome Society is hosting a conference as well in June. We are discussing co-sponsoring that as well so you would have two options to choose from. Encourage you all to email me your thoughts but yes--we will be meeting up with ALL y'all. No bowing though--hurts my knees.

Take care,

Anne Garrett

Oh, that's great (about the HSS meeting). I have agreed to help them with it. I'd love to see some of you there.

We're gonna have to put our names & our Forum aliases on our name badges, so we know who we are! LOL

Sharel,

On what dates in June is the HELLP conference? We are at a conference in Arizona between June 18-24, and we would really hate to miss the Preeclampsia meeting.

Oh no, it is tentatively planned for June 18-20. I don't think those dates are solid yet. Maybe you could propose an alternative weekend.

Where on the East Coast would the conference be?

BTW-I DO love the idea of wearing badges with our aliases on it. Also bring LOTS of pictures!!!

I THINK the HELLP Syndome Society's conference will be held somewhere in the vicinty of Wheeling, West Virginia. That is where they are headquartered.

I live near there, and I work in Wheeling, so if anyone has any questions about how to get here, where to stay, what to do, etc etc please let me know.

I hope to see lots of you there, as well as at the PF's annual meeting.
