Oops! I guess I should put this in the face to face support group category? Can someone move it for me? {Moved -- VW, 10Oct2016}
Also, I'm open to meeting outside the city of it is easier to park etc.
anyone have a suggestion?
Gab
This sounds like good idea - esp if I don't have to battle Boston traffic!
Gab, send a msg to Tom http://www.wegeners-granulomatosis.c...rowneagle.html
If I am not wrong he should be in your area.
I just sent him a message. [emoji106]
Great Susan!
So far it's middlesista, me and you. You are coming from NY?
Awesome! We'll see who else wants to join in, and then pick a date and place to meet. 👍
I'm in
Dale
We have a lot of friends in Connecticut, NY, NH, ME, RI and Vermont also that I haven't seen here for a while, I suspect you should let this stay out there for a while so others can see it and perhaps respond.
Dale
I'm glad you'll be joining us Dale! Please reach out to anyone you think would be interested in meeting up! I was thinking of waiting another week then setting a date at that time. If someone misses out this month we can always have another lunch! [emoji4][emoji106]
I'm glad you will try and join us crowneagle! I'll send a pm message to everyone who responded in about a week and then coordinate what days work best for the most people. I'm sure we can plan something at least 2 weeks out for those who need to finagle their schedules. And then again a month later perhaps 👍🏼
Renidrag and crowneagle, from which direction are you coming? So far we have north shore area, so NH and a train rider into Boston. Just trying to think of a town that would work well.
Come over... we can go fishing... Tom (crowneagle) will love it.. ;)

Would love to have you join us Alysia! Wish you lived closer!!
I am south of Boston but close to major highways in any direction. I have reached out to a weggie in CT, and I know there are weggies in Maine, I will try to get a hold of some of them.
Dale
The Worcester area would be great because it's in the middle of New England and ..........I live there. LOL!
I was telling middlesista I like everything except seafood.
Seeing as crowneagle is an hour west of Boston, middlesista is an hour north east of Boston, and I'm an hour north of Boston - we should probably meet near Boston - I vote for Burlington or somewhere around there. Or Is the north end too "in the city" middlesista? I don't know how parking would be there but I love Italian food. :) I also love steak houses, Chinese food, an Irish or German pub, anything except seafood really.
How far south of the city are you Dale? Are my suggestions more than an hour? If so we can move lunch closer toward you. And Susan is traveling into Boston ... just want to even out the traveling for all. [emoji4]
Burlington is fine with me. I'll eat anything.
Dale
Ok. Here are some options I found on trip advisor. Can any of these places be accessed by the T? Thinking of Susan who is taking the train in and won't have a car.

Does
Sunday Nov 20
Thursday Dec 1
Monday Dec 5
work for a lunch meet up in Burlington?
Please respond with any and all dates that work for you.
Did I miss anyone?
Since we live in a democracy, I'll pick the date that most people can attend. Then we'll plan a second gathering to include any that can't make the first.
Hi
Sunday the 20th works for me.
Depending on time I might stay in Boston Saturday and head over to Burlington Sunday
I'll figure out the logistics when you firm up the date.
Looking forward!
Susan
20 works for me too. I'll let Connecticut know.
Dale
I am working on the 20th but you should all go ahead with the 20th and I will hopefully make it the next time.
@ST316 and @renidrag - did any of the other day's work for you?
If not we'll plan another gathering after the first of the year for @Middlesista to join us.
I think we should wait till the new year and perhaps make it a little closer to Worcester. Some where in between Boston and Worcester.
Dale
@renidrag
We can definitely have 2nd get-together in Jan! I'm still game for lunch in Nov/early Dec. myself though. We can even start planning Jan lunch now so it's "on the books" [emoji106]
Feel free to suggest a location/restaurant!
Okay, any bites on the WG page? Burlington here we come.
Dale
Yes @renidrag - a couple people responded with interest. [emoji106]
Lets plan on Nov 20 then!
Any preference as for restaurants I listed a few posts above?
Gab
@Middlesista @ST316 @renidrag @crowneagle

Middlesista I'm incl you in case your work schedule changes.
Sunday Nov 20

Cheesecake Factory
Burlington Mall, Burlington Mass
Lunch for weggies and guests
(I might bring hubby or friend)
All welcome!
Let's meet outside the indoor mall entrance? So we aren't waiting outside in the cold.
Who's coming?
Please post photos!!
Wish I could be there but I'm 3000 miles away! Would LOVE to see photos posted.
I'll be there.
Looking forward!
-Susan
Yay! I'm looking forward to meeting you and the others soon!
gab
I'll be there, notified CT and another friend.
@renidrag, Excellent ! :thumbsup:
Some people coming from the Facebook weg group too!
I'm ready to go, only heard from one and she can't make it but looking forward to next time. Don't know about CT yet.
See you there! A couple from reading who's daughter has weg is coming too.
My mom, Maureen, is joining us. [emoji4]
Save a chair for dr. Phil. He loves these kind of meetings and will be there too with his pure sweet spirit ♡
Great great time meeting some fellow Weggies and family members!
What a bunch of great-looking, nice people. Wegeners seems to pick the best, for some reason....I look forward to seeing photos of the next meeting with hopefully a few more people. Would like to do it here, too.... we seem a little more spread out, though.... I'll think on it.
Annekat I wish you lived closer so you could join us!
Dale was talking about having me on Skype next time. I barely know what Skype is or whether it will work on the old computer equipment I have. Maybe on a group video chat on our phones. Of course, we could do that anytime, I guess. Sounds like fun, but I'll be pretty busy until after the holidays.

Anne, you can download skype to your smartphone. Check in the google store ikon on your phone.
Thanks, Alysia! I will check into it. 💑
