Thanks so much for the offer Laurie. As the date gets closer, I will definitely let you know!!

My eye is on the 10th right now. I want to give it a week or so before I start PMing the other regulars, but as of right now, I would IDEALLY like to do it Sunday, Aug 10th...we'll see! :mickey:

A PM has been sent to those who have not responded.

I think the 10th will work really well. Laurie and Ashley, could you just confirm to me that the 10th works for you as well? I'd ideally like to get the ball rolling asap, so I can be sure the 10th is dedicated to this meet.
Thanks so much! :party:

Hey guys, :sob: I hate to say it because there is nothing I would like more than to go, but I have concert tickets for a concert at Hadlock Field on the 10th so we won't be able to make it :( If you end up with a different date let me know and we'll be there with bells on. We miss you all like crazy and we'd like to see you before you go Greg. Best of luck! Take care of yourself!

Hey Greg = am sitting (actually sitting outside on a beautiful New England night!) with DH right now and can confirm that the 2 of us will attend. We have a wedding the day before so please do not change the date. Will ask DD if she would like to come with us so will give you a final count later. How cool about your teaching experience. Can't wait to learn more. :mickey:-

Hello! I will have to see what the scoop is once a place has been settled upon. I am going to try to sign in each day to get more info on this event. I just worked 2 weeks straight for my business and am in the midst of busy season so I have been quite lax with checking in!!!
Would love to see all of you and will keep in the loop...... :thumbsup:

I am thinking of having the meet at The Solomond Pond Mall area in Marlboro, MA. It is around 15mins east of Worcester, on Rte 290, very close to the 495 interchange. There is an Olive Garden next to the mall, and attached to the mall is a Bertucci's and a TGI Fridays.

Of course there is a Disney Store IN the mall, so I'm thinking we could meet there at 11:30ish, followed by lunch at 12ish.
Does that seem like a good idea to everyone?

A second idea would be that we could technically do what we did in February, and go back to Georgio's in Worcester and eat and talk there...but no Disney Store.

Post back with thoughts. I would prefer the 1st option myself, but I don't really have a STRONG preference. :mickey:

Either one is fine but I agree with option 1.:mickey:

MinnieMommie
07-27-2008, 01:18 PM
Hey Greg - I like the idea of a visit to the Disney Store and then Bertuccis or Olive Garden. It's always nice to attach a visit to the Disney Store to one of our meets. That being said, I will be fine with whatever is decided. :mickey:

Hey everyone,

Marlboro is fine with me, I love that Olive Garden!

07-29-2008, 09:36 AM
As I have heard no objections, we will meet in Marlboro at the Solomon Pond Mall Disney Store at 11:30AM, and then head to Olive Garden for 12ish.

As mentioned before, Yankee Swap is on, and if anyone is interested in bringing a trivia contest or something of the like, let me know. I will send out another PM to people who haven't responded on Monday. At your convenience, please let me know if you will be a YES or NO and how many people in your party. I will then add you to the 1st post.

Looking forward to a great time! :party:

I think that it is wonderful that people who live in my area from intercot get together. This is the first I have ever read anything about a meet and greet in my area. I hope that you all have wonderful time!!! Greg good Luck in Korea!

I don’t know how everyone feels about new people joining, but I would love to meet other people from intercot. Would someone please let me know the next time you all have a gathering if you don't mind. Thanks I hope you all have a great time!

Thanks for the nice message! We are ALWAYS open and would be HONORED to have new people joining the meet. It's ALL about having a great time together and just talking the happiest place on Earth. If you can make it Sun, that would be amazing. Otherwise, we will definitely keep you in the loop for future meets. :mickey:

what a fantastic meet! It was truly a pleasure to see all of you again. I will miss all of you terribly while im 7,000 miles away!!! It meant a lot to me that you all came out, and I can't wait to see ALL of you again in December when I come back for Christmas.
Speaking of that, we tentatively discussed Saturday, December 27 for lunch at Cheesecake Factory in Hartford, CT. Mark your calendars and closer to November, we'll start talking details. :party:

Stay safe and have a wonderful couple months! :mickey:

They are in another of my albums. I think you should be able to view my other albums. Due to "technical" difficulties (I guess you can call it that), I am not leaving the US until Thursday. LOOOOng story...lol.
