Let's do lunch!

It's been quite some time since I organized an OH meal for us to get together! In the past we've had breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner get-togethers which were hugely successful and a lot of fun. It's wonderful to get caught up with people we know, meet board friends in person, and make new friends on the same path - not to mention a great time to practice eating out and enjoy a great meal together.

Absolutely EVERYONE is welcome to join - and bring your spouse, friend, kid, brother, whomever you would like to join us. Pre-op, post-op, early-out, old-timers.... this is a time to meet others and expand your support network.

To this end, I am looking at August and early September dates on a Saturday or Sunday (I like to give people lots of time to figure out what works best for the majority). The weekend of August 9/10, 16/17, 23/24. 30/31, September 6/7, 13/14 are dates that I would appreciate feedback on. Please let me know if you are interested in attending and which date(s) work best for you. We've had upward of 35 people at some of our get-togethers and I'll need to make an appropriate reservation with lots of notice.

The lunch will be held at The Clarkson Pump and Patio, which is 1744 Lakeshore Road West in Mississauga. They have been extremely accommodating to us in the past and have a fabulous menu with something for everyone. If you are on Optifast, YOU ARE STILL WELCOME. The purpose of lunch is the company, not the food. If you feel you can manage it, please join us.

Here is a link to the menu: Clarkson Pump menu

Please let me know:

1. If you are interested in attending;

2. What date(s) work best for you.

Please contact me if you have any questions, concerns or otherwise!

Looking forward to hearing from you and REALLY looking forward to seeing you!

Best,

Karen :)

I would love to come, but would have to be on a Saturday, I work on Sundays and evenings during the week, so can't make the coffee meetup either.

Any Saturday works for me except Aug 30.

From the GO at Clarkson:

Cab (905-274-4444) - would cost you about $6 - 7

Bus (Mississauga Transit) - take route 23 East-bound, get off at Clarkson Rd (right in front of the restaurant) - cost $3.25, but I believe it's discounted if you have a train ticket

Thanks for reminding me to post directions - I forgot! :)

Edited to add: If you take the bus, ask for a transfer. The transfer is good for 2 hours and can be used to take the bus back to the GO within that time limit.
