Coming out of lurking! I hope you know that if it had not been for Mo Murkland we would not have had a party. She and the two newbies worked diligently to get this going. The place which was originally set up for the party was Troutman's Barbecue. But there were two problems to be considered: 1. They did not serve any alcohol and 2. the food was sampled and proofed to be less than suitable for the palate. I then asked Evan if he could find a better one. He was unable to. All of us girls had our cell phones and we tried to keep in touch that way. And then came Mo's message: I've got a place, we've got it all worked out! It's Ruby Tuesday and close to the host hotel." Got the address and changed the flyer. This was Wednesday night. On Thursday morning I knew we had to get the flyer copied and distributed or no one would know where to go. Hallie ran me to a place who made us 50 copies (should have been more). Back to the show site and passing them out was the final phase. Getting to the restaurant was another story. I got lost and almost ended up in Charlotte. Those darn hiways don't have enough exits! I finally made it just when the first people from the meeting arrived. It was great to see all those people you knew by name and finally could put a face on them. Lots of people and good money was made for the Rescue. After all, that's what it was all about. No regrets. Lee P.S. I definitely would be in favor of changing to another day. Sleeping time is too short. Liane Fossland Home of Ch.

This was the first National's for me and I'm exhausted....still. I'm one of the people that helped Mo get the party together and implement it. I appreciate that you all appreciate all our hard work. It was fun too. I'd like to thank all the people that hepled us as well,...Zoe and Elizabeth???? ( I hope you got your glasses back. ) I have met so many people and I'm not so great with names anyway. Please forgive me for not remembering names??? I also want to thank ALL of you who ripped your own tickets in half! LOL!!!! Suggestions are always welcome in my book!!! It was a bitch getting names on napkins instead of tickets...until we got tickets....talk about flying by the seat of our pants!!! Whew! Well, good thing were such an adaptable bunch! > Grace Eaton > caggra@xxxxxxx wrote: > I think we all must be extra sensitive or something this week. I didn't think Amy's post was out of line or complaining in any way! I am sure EVERYONE appreciates all the hard work, time etc. that goes into events such as the List Party. HOWEVER.....it should be ok for someone to acknowledge that hard work, while at the same time making suggestions for future events. Nothing is ever perfect....there is always room for improvement!!!! She wasn't bitching at all!
