Curious minds are inquiring.

How many members attended? Was it a large crowd?

I didn't count but yes it was a large crowd! There was a sign in sheet so maybe someone else has the answer about how many.

Big Thanks to Nancy for moderating the event. Glad to see so many of the best posters on TOTV there. Thanks for the popcorn Bill, we are eating it now! (visualize a happy face eating popcorn here, I can't seem to access the emoticon)

Wonderful, thanks to all who made it happen and were so welcoming.

Oh man...we didn't get to chrispers today. Our afternoon got somewhat fouled up because we got lost and ended up.....I don't even know where. We were starving and I mean blurry eyed starving and ended up out somewhere taking a dirt road back to civilization. Not very good so by the time we found our way back we'd had enough. Glad you all had fun. Maybe in May we can get there. I still feel a little like a chicken with my head cut off!

Our thanks to Nancy as well for leading the charge and adding some structure and organization to today's event........and for bringing the M&Ms! It was good to put faces and names with some of the member IDs!!!

Bill :)

[Yorio]

So glad to hear everything worked out well. Were there newbies and wannabes around? Too bad we missed out but we are in Winter Park with the grand kids but now they are a sleep and since nothing to do, we retired to our room and checking how things turned out. Hope March will be as successful as this go around.

I so agree. Great job Nancy. Thank you so much. Glad you had each of us introduce ourselves to the group and tell a little about ourselves. That was so nice!!

It was WONDERFUL to see the REAL persons, ALL of you!!!!!.

Lovely to see the "old" group; Time for Tee and husband, Barefoot, Redwitch, Champion6, Village07, Bogard, Another Linda, EdvinMass and Steve Swineflu. AND Delightful to meet the wonderful new folks, so warm and fun and so full of enthusiasm!

I am so grateful for TOTV. What a wonderful time!

Missed you today Skyguy79! I'm hosting in March and I expect to see you there with Eileen! And all you other totvers as well! It was so nice meeting all of you today!

I counted around 30, but I arrived late. It was a super chance to say hi to old friends and meet some new friends! :super:

[villages07]

Yep, a great time... a nice mix of old timers and newbies. Thanks to Nancy for taking the bull by the horns and providing the organization. Just a little bit of promotion and organization is all we needed to get the luncheons back on track.

EdV took the pix...so, I'll be the first one to pester him. When are you gonna post the pix, Ed?????

Looking forward to March with Wendy's touch!!!

:popcorn:

[another Linda]

Another :coolsmiley: from another Linda. Our gathering was a small example of what makes this place great. I'm just sorry I didn't have a chance to talk to everyone. But there is always next month.

[De Lis]

I had a wonderful time yesterday speaking / meeting so many people. Thanks to everyone who came to this event. Looking forward to see you on TOTV!

[Tom Hannon]

Sorry I couldn't make it. My sister was visiting from NY and although we were going to try to make a cameo appearance, my wife's golf cart ran out of electric earlier in the afternoon and we needed to address the problem.

[wesmin]

I counted 38 at one time as we were introducing ourselves

[EdV]

....EdV took the pix...so, I'll be the first one to pester him. When are you gonna post the pix, Ed?????

I just resized and forwarded the picks to Nancy. She mentioned that she had the instructions from Admin for uploading them but it will be her first time doing this, so be patient. It was a well organized and fun filled gathering indeed.

But I must apologize for the picture quality. After a few flash photos, the camera began acting up and some shots were lost because no flash fired or in some other cases the focus was off. Time to put this camera out to pasture and head to Best Buy for a shiny new one.

Nice to meet new people and refresh memories with some of the oldies. Looking forward to many more Crispers gatherings. Thanks for rejuvenating the group.

[swrinfla]

One of the biggest crowds in many months. Great fun.

It was especially nice to see our very favorite graciegirl!

And, I almost - not very much, but almost - regret that I'll miss the March festivities! I'll be aboard the Emerald Princess, on her way back to Port Everglades after a ten-day cruise to the Eastern/Southern Caribbean.

Y'all y'all have fun!

It was really nice for me being new and getting to meet so many friendly folks. I'm looking forward to next month. Many thanks, Nancy, for your great organization and
Bill, I had popcorn for lunch today - yum!

[Trish Crocker]

The meeting in April is on the 20th, right? I sure hope so...we are flying in that morning to Tampa...planning to check in, drop off the luggage and head to Crispers! We are sooo looking forward to meeting all of you!

[redwitch]

It was so wonderful to see the Crispers gathering be back to the way it used to be. Great job, Nancy! The rotating hosts will help a lot. It does create a burnout being the one responsible month after month.

What a truly great group of people we have here on TOTV and it was a joy to meet some of the "newbies".

:agree: Red, it was quite a chore hosting the lunch for so long. Most times I never got a chance to just sit and chat with people or even get a lunch. Then posting the pictures is a major chore. DickY had it down to a T, but with my challenged brain, it would take me hours.

I thank the rotating host idea and hope I can attend the lunch in March.

I just wanted to give a big shout-out to kathieI for all the effort she has put into Crisper's to keep it going for a long time. I remember meeting her and she is a wonderful lady.

Thanks Guys for all your compliments! It was truly a blast! Thanks to Bill and Brillo for bringing the popcorn and for Ed taking the pictures. I will get the pictures posted shortly.

Looking forward to the March gathering and Wendyquat will have the honor. And guys, start thinking about who wants to volunteer for April, May, June, etc. Remember, from now on it will be a team effort so lets keep the momentum going.

Ed, thank you so very much! They look great!

[mikeandnancy1112]

My attendance sheet shows 28 but I counted heads at one point and there were almost 40. I guess some people didn't sign the sheet. You know who you are....lol

There are a few attendees whose pictures didn�t come out because the flash was misfiring. It also accounts for some of the blurry shots. I�m on the prowl for a new camera cuz this one�s headed for the camera pasture.

I�ll do better next time.

[uujudy]

Thanks for posting the photos! I'm so sorry I missed it! See y'all next month!

Great Job, Ed!!!!! Only took one "nag" email (all in good fun, as KathieI can attest). Thanks for your efforts.

[Taltarzac725]

Cool pictures, EdVinMass.

I had thought about coming but had had some other things which needed doing.

[sands]

Agreed, it was great meeting everyone last Friday. This truly is "Florida's Friendliest Hometown." I'll add my thanks to everyone else's to Nancy for organizing, Bill for the popcorn and KathyI who had hosted the only other one I was able to attend (about a year ago.) Nice to meet everyone!
