PATIENCE!! I didn't use the digital. Others did. I'm sure they'll post soon. All in all, it was a great time had by all. Crispers kept extra staff on for us. Barefoot and VK had us all sign in and finally made us order. We yapped and yacked and yapped. I'll get my film developed in the next day or two and post those pics.

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Thanks

Can't wait

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Mom and Beady: I think the 3rd Friday is Feb. 15. Look on the calendar for TOTV and its listed for Feb. 15.

Mom, I thought you were already in TV. So we'll see you at the Feb. Meeting. Phan coming???

Later, Kath

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Thanks for the picture!! Wish we could have joined you! Keep them going til next year, and we'll be excited to join you! Looks like a fun, fun time!!

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

:agree: It really was great to meet everyone at last! Mr Travel and I enjoyed getting acquainted with the "Chat Pack" and will have our pictures posted in a day or two.
Thank you all for getting this together and we look forward to next month's gathering!
Mr & Mrs TravelStiles

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Thanks for the posting. I'll be there in March -- with bells on as my grandmother used to say.

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Looks like a fun group and I am sure you all had a great time ! Just returned from our RV trip with the Village RV group and plan on being for the next big event. :beer3: :clap2:

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

I am so sad I could not be there..http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...consoling1.gif...Love the pic..http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/yes.gif

TOTV certainly has a good looking crew..http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/grouphugg.gif

Hope to meet all of you at the next meeting...http://www.millan.net/minimations/to...hellothere.gif

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Great picture and nice to put faces with names. I'll try to make the February gathering if it is Feb. 15. See you then.

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

I'm going to just miss the April meeting with my preview visit. Looks like a fun time was had by all.

Russ

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

The pictures are great. Wish I could have been there. Hopefully we will see you in Feb.

From HB AT THE END OF THE WORLD, that is where we are now.

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

I wasn't in the group picture because I had to leave early to get down to the square for line dancing, but you will see me in some of the other table pictures. It was a very nice time. Looking forward to the next meeting in Feb.

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Was a little too shy to come to the TOTV meeting yesterday, but may make the February 15, 2008 one. Great picture. :#1: :bigthumbsup:

I have never seen 150 people at Crispers. That could be a new goal for TOTV members to fill up Crispers at one of the monthly meetings. Of course, I never go to Crispers for lunch, just pick up the evening take-out dinner occasionally.

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Tal,

I am really shy also, not like Kathie shy, really really shy, no kidding! Please consider comming to the Feb. meeting. We can sit in the corner and hide from the world ok???

Seriously, we wont bug you too much but we would love to make your aquaintance and you dont have to say a word, we know you very well from this forum. Thanks,Nonie ;D

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Wow! Very nice gathering. Couldn't make the meeting because of work <sigh>. Maybe next time. The pic would be a nice addition to the TOTV home page ;)

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

That is a great idea JohnZ...http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/yes.gif

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Thank you for the picture look at all the smart people who can type. See you guys next time. Glad you all had fun

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Just looking ahead at the callendar. The third Friday of March (3/21) is Good Friday this year. Easter Sunday is 3/23. It's generally never a good idea to schedule a meeting or trip on a religious holy day. If you're taking votes, I'd go for 3/28. George

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

I normally don't respond to a knee-jerk reaction, but I'll make an exception today. Who appointed you the spokesperson for TOTV? George

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

The difference Barb, is how you say things. I simply made an observation. You summarily dismissed it. What! none of the others can offer an opinion? TV is a very traditional community which appreciates and recognizes both patriotism and traditional religious observances. Your attitude shows complete indifference and disregard to one of the holiest days in the Christian tradition. Of course people are free to come out or stay at home that day. All I'm saying is a "reasonable" planner would avoid scheduling any kind of event on one the major Holy Days of any major religion. It's fundamental! It's been said elsewhere on this forum, common sense is not all that common!

If my memory serves me correctly, JohnZ and Pat suggested the first gathering of TOTV last Spring long before anyone heard from you. So don't be too quick take credit for a TOTV meeting. I've been an active member of TOTV since March 2007 and have rarely missed a day that I don't visit this web site.

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

In Barb's defense I do not think she was suggesting we meet on Good Friday. What I think she was saying is that we have established the 3rd Friday as the date to meet. There have been some suggestions to change dates and venue. I believe Barb was suggesting that for now we do not change either in hopes of getting a routine established.
When we meet in February I am sure that many of us will not want to meet on Good Friday and will make the change for the March meeting then.
As to who originated the process I think that is irrelevant. We are getting the group together, the numbers seem to be growing, we had a really nice time last Friday and that is what counts.

Re: TOTV Meeting?
 

Beady :agree:

Let's try to keep our focus on the fact that we're getting the group together, the numbers and interest are increasing, and we had a really great time at the first TOTV luncheon.
