Oh no, no, noooo... that was Spidey's idea, I was just passing that on for her. (you must have read my PM when you were running out the door to work :biggrin2: )

It's all sounding like it's going to be another wonderful SKMB time... ♥

...one of our crafty sorts has agreed to contribute a small handmade stained glass piece...maybe one or two other things we come up with...need to be small though due to travel concerns/packing for members...
I'm a crafty, artsy sort. I'll see if I can come up with something auction-worthy.
There's also the option of mailing items ahead, if anybody local would be willing to gather them.

I can give you the office address and if anybody else has something they want to contribute and needs a place to send it, let me know and I'll pass on the address.

I will make something too! Won't be able to come to this most likely but that would give me a chance to contribute to the auction or wherever the planning committee thinks best and still be a part of the Kon.

I'm thinking some cross stitch bookmarks. I will see what I can come up with for patterns/designs and let everyone know, but I could probably do 10 or so, maybe more, depending on design.

I might know who that guest could be.....:applause:

Sign me up for the bus tour as well. This will be the first time that I've met all of you(with the exception of Stacy and Marsha)so I will be tagging along to all events ;-D

Like lepp mentioned if anyone wants to mail anything home and you don't want to waste your time going to the P.O. I can mail it for you.

I think we all definitely need to do a big dinner or something together too....

....already mentioned that, figured we could decide as a group and I suggest a buffet-that way everyone can find something they can eat.....

Trying to think of a decent local buffet.....I don't think there are any good ones to be honest. Sea Dog has a bit of everything. There is a hibachi grill that's really good but depends on the head count and if people like hibachi. Come to think of it, Hollywood casino has a buffet but it's a casino and I've never tried it myself. Maybe Marsha knows of something....

Only thing that comes immediately to mind is Oriental Jade but I usually only do take-out from them so don't know if they even still do a buffet. We can add that to the to do list to figure out between now and July '18.

Is there a casino with a buffet?

Or we all order in our own for a pot luck type of thing?

Or I'm sure there are caterers that could hook us up, but we're TRYING to be cost effective.

Just spitballing.

I can't help thinking about how the reunion dinner in 'It' turned out every time we talk about getting together.
