I would love to get Lori Hartwell to come to the California meet she is an amazing woman, my son and I recently met her.
Keep the ideas coming guys. 
Lori Hartwell lives in California so that would be cool. You will have to email her. Do you have her email address? (If you don't I do). I can't afford to do dialysis in any State so I won't be able to come but if you do the web cam thing during it that would be great! I assume it will be huge if you have a guest speaker. Would any newspapers or magazines cover this? At first I was thinking it would just be like get-togethers gamers usually have but I am getting the impression you are thinking bigger than that. |

Yes I have Lori's email, we have spoken several times. She is even a sponsor of this site. Also as I mentioned a few posts back, I would see what I could do to get "local" press coverage. Nothing is set in stone everything is still in just the "ideas" stage it may be as simple as a small BBQ or renting a hall. This is will take some major planning but I think it can be a real nice annual event. |

Hey Epo can you please tell me how many people we have in Ohio and surrounding states? Also if possible can you give me a list of ways I can get ahold of those people so that I can send them a letter seeing if there is any interest and if so what would be the best time frame for them?

I really don't know how many members are in Ohio or in the surrounding states, but if they are in the Ohio area and are interested in the event I am sure they will post here. Lets wait and see how many people post here and go from there. |

I wish I could go to where bajanne lives one day because it is not like where I live (Canada)  I used to write a girl who lived in St. Lucia when I was in high school. I wished even back then to be able to visit that area |

An annual meet. That would be cool! ! ! !  I could possibly get to Ohio. If I can drive to Houston from Kansas and back. I could surely get to Ohio. Would be nicer if it was closer thou. I'm still paying on my treatments in Houston for a month of dialysis last February. I'm always asking my docs and nurses if there is anyone my age on dialysis. I would love to meet people around my area. But there never is.   |

Just wondering if any other areas could host. UK or Canada, Southern US? I think the web cam idea Epoman had is a good idea.

How involved do you want the distant ones? Only dinner, or a banquet type learning thing, or a dinner then tour of local area things, give me ideas and a time when it would be the best for people around Ohio. I have many ideas, but I don't know how simple or elaborate you want he first meet. I do know that if any of you are interested in staying at a motel while here, our town has the Ramada and they always have specials with dinner and a nights stay and are very reasonable and usually do group discounts if any of you are interested.

I think the first meet will be very simple because a lot of members may not have much time to visit due to dialysis schedules which is one of the hurdles I am trying to address for the future meetings, I have this master plan in my head of how elaborate I'd like this to become but it is going to take one step at a time. I appreciate your enthusiasm.  |

It isn't just that. If people want to come to just eat and talk and meet that is fine. But I don't have a car or hardly any money as I live pay cheque to pay cheque (yes that is Canadian for check ). Plus I have dialysis M/W/F and I work T/TH and Sunday is the day I spend with my mom. So I only have Sat free and with getting off dialysis at 9pm I sleep in
Slow down Angie this is meant to be fun, and not stress anyone period. If you have a saturday available then thats what we have to work with. We can make this work.

I tend to be highly stressed .. this is why I don't do as much as let's say .. umm... Epoman lol I tend to always be nervous when there is nothing to be nervous about and feel anxious all the time (people sometimes catching me wringing my hands a lot and chewing on my lip and a pace a lot!) |
