State Coordinator welcome

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone as well! Yes, my son will be at the walk, he's a trooper! He did the 6 mile March of Dimes Walk with me last sunday. In his stroller, of course!

Welcome Karyn!

I am so happy to hear that you son is doing so well. :) Will he be at the walk?

Can't wait to meet you!

Hi everyone, I am so glad I found this forum. I'm Karyn, mom to Nicholas Joseph who was born 2/19/05 at 29 weeks and weighing 2lbs 1.6 oz due to my severe PE. Nick spent 57 days in the NICU and was ventilated for 5 days. He is now a happy and healthy almost 15 month old! He was completely caught up to a term baby at 6 months and is just about to take his first steps. I look forward to walking on saturday.

We can plan a meet and greet around the WAT, or later in the summer...

Send me an email for possible days that work at mlaureto@yahoo.com

I have thought about it. DH LOVES anything with military history and has been trying to get me to go to Gettysburg. Hmmm maybe I can strap Sara into the snuggly and have Kirsten walk. Very Very tempting. When is it?

Hershey is a great place...especially for kids. And the biggest perk...the tour of the CHOCOLATE factory!! Count me in!

Ooh,Molly, sign me up for that trip! LOL I'm so into history and I know I'd love to see Gettysburg and that kind of stuff there. Maybe someday.............[:)]

Sabrina,

Thanks for the info....I will have to keep your location in mind too. :) Have you thought about traveling to Harrisburg/Hershey area for the WAT? You know, their is Hershey World for the girls(and you too!) and lots of fun activities for the family...Gettysburg, State Capital, Amish...heheh. Family vacation! Do I sound like a travel agent? :)

I'm about an hour and a half from Erie, PA but live in Western NY near Buffalo.

Hi Rosemary,

Hats off to your company for making such a wonderful donation! Your right, educating women is one of the best ways to help the Foundation.

I look forward to talking with you, and all the other ladies in the future.

Any ideas for a meeting location and time? Im new to the area, but was thinking that Reading is a central location...any ideas? ( I have never been to Reading, is it nice?)
