MEET/GREET AGAIN
I would to try to get another meet/greet together. We did one in May, and I would like to try to get one together for July yet. The last one I put together was on a Saturday afternoon.
What I want to do for right now is get some times and days that everyone is avalaible, and then I can pick the best time that will work fro the majority. I still would like to stick to a Saturday, unless a Sunday works better if there is to much going on.
The group of us that met last time were from the Twin Cities northern area, and we met in Blaine. I don't know if someone from the south part of the metro plans on doing one, but maybe if there is someone out there, they could do that. Of course this is open to everyone, but this will again be in the north part of the metro, for those south. You are more than welcome to come.
Also, I know some of the ladies had name tags already made. If you have a copy or template of that, could you email it so I could see it?
Thanks!
Trina
