INFORMAL meet & greet at SOuthcenter Starbucks on I-5 Washington State

Post by Carolyn J »

WELCOME, Shannon to the UBPN Family.

All of us in the Seattle area need to meet at a Starbucks(they are easy to Spot!) on I-5 soon before life gets really busy in the summer. I suggest Southcenter.

Any takers?? ...keeping it informal...;) I will also post this on the BPI Events Forum.

HUGS,
Carolyn J

Hello Susan!

Even if it's just the 2 of us, we'll meet and talk at Starbuck's in SouthCenter, OK? How about a Monday soon. It would certainly make my Monday!

Susan, I am retired with no children (son is an adult now) so please name a Monday here and let's see if others will join us. I look forward to meeting you. :)

HUGS,
Carolyn J

Hi all,

Julia I am on now.

Yes, I would love to meet everyone and hear what they would like to see at camp for next year.

As I said on the General Board depending on day and time, usually I can make it work.

Have a great week-end everyone.

Hugs, Karen

Very sorry, gentleman from somewhere in Oregon, who showed up at Starbuck's after Julia and Karen had to cancel. I was on my way up I-5 "just in case"..when I too got an emergency call on my Cell phone & had to come back home...No, it wasn't regarding Maggie,thank God.

Maybe another time.

Like ships in the night, this time [:^)=8
hunhhh?
'Sokay, my fault for not callin' you before I headed up there, but it never crossed my mind that (maybe) I'd be the only one to come. I was looking forward to seeing you all, and will hold that thought for another time. This being only my second post, you've prob'ly not had ocaission to check my profile. Skimpy, IMHO, but it is there.

HUGS back atcha!!
