Reminder - Get together/ Meet & Greet on 6/21

Hello my IL Family - Just wanted to remind everyone that our get together is quickly approaching.  I have not heard what the weather will be like for Saturday but all of next week is supposed to be in the 70's..  Wow, that would be lovely. We have had a lot of new family members on the IL board so I would like to personally invite you all to this get together.  It will be a great time to meet many people taking the same journey. I look so forward to seeing my old friends and meeting many new. Please pm if you have not already so I can get an idea of how much food etc to anticipate.  I have asked that everyone bring either a covered dish or desert (Weight loss freindly) to share. So far, this is the list of who is coming and what they are bringing.. forgive me if I missed anyone.  Just let me know and I'll add you to this list. Chris & Dave - Pork Tenderloin w/ crackers Dawn & Todd - Monica & Mike - Water Janet & Eddie - Paulette & Earl - Broccoli Salad Willow Lucy - Shrimp Tray Lynne - Lisa & Daughter - Fruit Tray Carol & Mike - Salsa Chicken Wendi & Larry - 

Here is the weather forcast on the 10-day from weather.com http://www.weather.com/outlook/driving/interstate/wxdetail/6 0143?dayNum=6 it looks promising, but I never count on it until 2-3 three days before hand.  I just made Dave go over and leave himself a note to get the ingredients for our contribution to the party. You know when a person is semi-retired they loose track of time . . .  Christina and Calvin - do you need anything else to contribute? We have plenty of that stuff and if we do not have it we will buy it.  Chris and Dave

Thanks so much for the invite Christina.  I am going to check my calendar, my nephew's graduation party is this weekend, but not sure if its Sat or Sun.  I will let you know.  I will need driving directions, because I have no idea where Warrenville is LOL.  I think its west?   Michelle

Hey Michelle - I hope you can make it!  I will send you a pm w/ our address and phone number. Christina

Hi Chris..  I think we are in good shape.  Thanks for offering. Look forward to seeing you and Dave on Saturday. Christina

christina, I dont think i will be making it..due to heath issue

I'm sorry Wendi.. I wish you were feeling better.  Hang in there girl! Christina

Not sure I'll make it, but if I do come what can I bring...since I'm not on the loser's bench yet I have no idea what everyone can eat?

Hey Chickie.. how is the liquid diet going?  I know it's hard but you can do it.  Keep focused on the reward.. Your surgery day!  It will be here before you know it. There are many wl friendly foods on OH and all over the internet but really, with you being on a liquid diet, I would hate to ask you to bring food.  Just bring yourself Lynn, I do hope you can make it.  You will get so much support for your big day on Monday. Christina

I'm gonna be there!!  no matter what!  LOL  I have missed every one since Panera Bread and I miss seeing you all.  I did get to see Chris, Dave and Michelle though at the Flyer's game!

If you need anything else Christina just let me know.  I bought some of those Crystal light packets in case someone wants to flavor their water too.  We'll bring the water in coolers with ice too.  I can't wait...doing the happy dance!
