Before I get started on this new topic, here is the link to the pictures, your followup comments and my report for the May 6th MR SoCaL Lunch http://forums.macresource.com/read/1/74507/page=4
The enthusiasm at our Lunch was wonderful, so I proposed to the Members who attended that we should consider planning our next event right away.
Everyone at the Lunch thought this was a good idea and we discussed having two months for input about ideas and to home in on the date and two months to finalize the details.
I felt that this would allow for greater creativity as to what we would do and also to allow more time for ALL Forum Members to make plans to attend.
When I say that we are inviting all the Members to participate in the next MR SoCal Event, I want to make it clear that we're inviting Haikuman from Hawaii or the Philippines, Clay from Virginia, PeterB from West Newton, Mass, ka jot and trisho from NY, Rain and Zoidberg from wherever they are, well you get the idea and please don't feel hurt if I didn't mention your name because you ARE INVITED wherever you live. Oh yes! that includes you, Stuffed Shirt and OWC Larry and the rest of the OWC staff that are Members of the Forum.
The fact is, one of my early ideas was to have a prize for the Member who comes from the farthest distance
This also means that I will be asking our MR SoCal members to step up and volunteer to pick up out of town Members at the airport or train station and if needed, to provide a place to stay for a night if this would make it possible for a distant-living Member to attend.
I can tell you that the feeling at the Lunch was as if a bunch of family and old friends were getting together, so inviting some of you, who we've known for as long as years, is not like inviting strangers. Of course this is just an idea and space for having a guest would have to be considered as well.
Remember, this is just the beginning and it will be a two month process before we start the last two months of finalizing the details. You have some of my initial thoughts to begin the process, so start adding your thoughts and I will post more of my ideas for THE NEXT GREAT MR SoCal EVENT scheduled for Fall 2006.
Thanks again for joining in!
