Hi all IHD Members,
Marc, (YLGuy) and I wouldlike to host n IHD mini-meet this summer. The mobile home park I live in has a barbecue area, which would hold, I think, about 24 people, but accomadations can be made for more. There are 2 gas barbecues, we also have a pool and a jacuzzi. We also could have it inside and our club house holds about 140 people. We are thinking a pot luck would work. That way no one would have an exorbitant amount of money to come up with. If those outside of the area ( Riverside, Ca. ) would like to come, there is a brand new hotel coming up with in walking distance. Let me know what you think and if you would want to come, and if so give me a month that would be good for you and we will proceed. Sounds like a lot of fun to me.

I don't have much planned for summer yet so am flexible on dates.
I know there's a Comfort Inn in Riverside with rates from $79 to $84 per night (that's in July.)

Most weekends are ok for me, as long as it isn't the third Saturday, as that's the Kidney Beings monthly meeting.  Hi, Marc, we miss you!

Yes, please bring Jennifer. I have put an ad into our monthly newsletter for any other kidney or dialysis people. My firend Virg is also coming. She is amazing. Had not been to a Dr. in 30 years until she was so tired, she couldn't move. After all tests were done, she had a permacath put in and is now doing PD. Her gfr was 2!!!!! What a scare that was for her. I will pm you KitKatz for guidance. Thanks

Where is this exactly located?  I live in New York.  I would love to stop by.     What's the address?  I'll look it up in mapquest or flight arrangements.  This will be so nice.

So sorry cdbrooklyn. Guess I did not mention that. We would just love to have you, but you have to bring me a New York Pizza, ( Just kidding) Riverside is about 60 miles inland from Los Angeles. The closest airport would be Ontario ( ONT). If you need a ride from the airport, it can be arranged. Also, there is a new hotel going up practically across the street from us. I cant think of the name of it offhand, but will check it out if you would like me to.

I am coming sans the hubby. I am finding pretty cool raffle prizes. No one upset if I have Christmas stuff for prizes?   I figure whatever I come up with will be fine!
