Company visiting and stuff this month so I may not make the March 21, 2008 TOTV luncheon. Not sure when the company is leaving or when others may be coming. Kind of hectic around this house the past 3 weeks or so.

Back to Ma Kettle for my avatar. She looks like a librarian about to shush someone. :joke:

Hi, who is bringing the camera? Who has the name tags? Please let us know.

Kathie what you said about where home is, is very true. We will have to make a birthday list of all the Sistahs so that we will know when the "Hostest with the Mostest" can plan all of our birthday celebrations. I would be delighted to help with this.

As for gifts - party can be a pot luck and that is the gift for the birthday Sistah. As the number of our Sistahs grows we may have to get a private room at Laurel Manor.

Kathy I know that you are the shy retiring type, but with all of us around you, we will not let you be a wall flower.

Love ya all lots,

Sistah HB

Village Kid will be bringing name tags. She has graciously done this for every luncheon. :#1:

I have advised the floor manager at Crispers that we will be there. There are always peeps there with cameras. See y'all Friday at 3 PM. Hope the weather is great, it is fun to sit out on the patio. :bigthumbsup:

Looks like Barbara and I will miss the March meeting but hopefully can get down for the April get-together. We will be thinking of you all....Enjoy!

Barefoot and Kiddo and others:

After the February meeting, 07 and I commented to each other that since we had left quite a mess for the staff to clean up, that maybe we could give the help a little tip for their effort in cleaning up. I noticed that it took them about 3/4 hour after we were gone to get the outside looking neat and clean for the next guests. This was just a thought and I'm wondering what you think about it.

Thanks, Kathie

Kathi,
I wasn't there but I think that is a very nice idea... :bigthumbsup:

Isn't Crisper's policy "No Tips"?

KathieI 03-18-2008 08:08 PM

Re: TOTV luncheon
 
Steve, you might be right, never thought of that, but it will be a nice gesture because we sure did leave a lot of work. Well, maybe Kiddo or Barefoot can find out for us. It was just a thought.

Kath,

I had no idea we left a big mess. Definitely we will check and if they are to pick up we will leave a tip (if allowed). If we are to pick up, we'll take care of that too.

Thanks for being a good steward for TOTV. Look forward to your return, hopefully in April (?)!!!

:beer2:

Hugs, VK (Kiddo)

I had asked about tipping when we were there the last time. It turns out Crisper's is owned by Public and tips are a definite no-no. It's a shame. Those kids work hard. Guess we should make it a policy to leave things as clean as possible when we leave, including putting tables and chairs back in order.

BTW -- It turns out I did find a service at 11 am on Friday, so I should be able to make it at least for a little while. ;D You guys just can't get away from me.

Kiddo - we weren't really that bad, like we picked up trash and stuff but I overheard some grumbling from the staff while they were putting the tables and chairs back and sweeping up. It may have been more about management than us but 07 and I just thought it would be a nice gesture if we're allowed to tip. But if not, I think our picking up a bit might be a help.

Sorry I'm missing March's meeting but April seems a possibility cause the flights are so cheap, I cant understand why. ::) Hope they're planning to use fuel in the planes?? :dontknow:

See ya soon, I hope. Kath

I just wanted to make sure that you're not counting us as one of the 4 new people coming this Friday, Sam. We've love, love, love to be able to join you all - but we're not there yet. Can't wait to see the pics again. If you all only knew how I run to my computer every nite, to see what you're all talking about, on TOTV. I hope you did the same thing when you were wannabees, too. I'm so addicted, and have another year to go!
