Comment by Nicole R on Monday Hello everyone! How is the weekend of June 16th/17th for a pot luck at a park or beach in the San Diego area? Is that too soon for everyone? Any ideas on where to have it? How is Mission Bay Park?
Comment by Nicole R on May 23, 2012 at 12:40pm Hi Debra, Celina and I were talking about it last night and wanted to meet somewhere near the beach, if you could help plan and get everybody together that would be great! I'm doing ok, I'm looking for a job and a new place to live, but not finding either...
Hey Nicole - I would love to meet you guys and would love a day in San Diego. If we plan a date at least a few weeks out, will definitely make it. Maybe you want to plan it for a weekend in July and put it in the calendar page for events. Do you want me to help plan it??:-) Btw, how are you doing Nicole??
Comment by Nicole R on May 23, 2012 at 1:08am Alright, that's 3! Who else can we get? Anybody??
Comment by Jake M on May 22, 2012 at 4:48pm I might be up for a meeting in San Diego. I live at the South end of Orange County, so I am not too terribly far from SD. That, and some of my in-laws live there and maybe my wife would be interested in visiting her sister while I hang out with some of my fellow AVMers.
