You can go to my page and look at my pics or go to CathyJ's page. She will have the updated ones for our Group. Did you RSVP for the Meet & Greet? If you go to the Events calendar on the right side of this page and change it to August. Then click on the 26th our M & G should be listed and you can RSVP how many will be coming from your family.

Hello! I'm going to pop in here from PIR 8-13 on our mission to help inform upcoming PIR groups of our experience. We recommend that you make alternate plans for your PIR group M&G--now, before it's too late. The Ramada is in a seedy location. The so-called appetizers are awful. The room is dark and disgusting. The situation is confusing and the bar is inappropriate for families, children, elderly, etc. Inappropriate for anything but a hooker party. It's almost impossible to meet other moms from N4M under the circumstances there--the bar is filled with strangers who are staying at the Ramada, and they even tried repeatedly to steal our N4M pins and lanyards etc. Please read in the PIR 8-13 group for more input on our experiences at this location. The Ramada will hold a M&G at their hotel whether you go or not, but so could the 7-11 or the K-Mart, there is no reason to hold your PIR group M&G there just because the Ramada claims they are having a M&G, and in fact it is an awful choice. The Ramada M&G is NOT N4M-sponsored. Alternate possibilities are Anastasia's or Flanagans. Anastasia's will reserve a room for you and it's in a nice location. Save yourselves! (It's NOT too late. We almost changed our M&G at the last minute and were still able to get a room at Anastasia's, but we didn't have enough information to make a final decision and we kept the M&G at the Ramada. BOY WERE WE SORRY. Our mission now is to provide other groups with the information we didn't have.)
