Ted,

            You seem to be on target even after a full days work.  I think what has happened here is the through the beauty of delayed email responses that your previously mentioned #2 got done before #1 and rightly you should delay #3.  At present we are waiting fro a response from Viva as to whether she wants to keep tabs on folks interested in attending.  Once that is done then we con adjust your invitation mailing and my letter that Barbara posted earlier.  It seems that by default we chose the 1/27/09 to 2/3/09 dates through our progressive emailing.  Once we hear from Viva we can align the issues you raise.

 

As well, I think Judie pointed out that we then also need to have Pat place something on the Reunion website.

 

Thanks for being attentive and confused all at the same time.  What a guy!!

Hello, folks!

 

Just trying to catch up here after a shift of mixing Manhattans, martinis, and a number of other drinks including beer and wine for the commisserating masses. 

 

I'm a little confused and I think others will be, too.  John's message says that the first thing folks must do is respond by October 20 with an indication of interest in the concept and the prefered choice of the two date ranges.  But there appears to be no link to respond to that question.  So here are a couple of questions: 

 

How do we know which dates to reserve if we don't know which dates we're planning to tie down? 

 

Are we just sort of answering the question ourselves and declaring the Tuesday to Tuesday date as the date?  (If so, then we need to reword John's message to reflect that.)

 

If we're going to start taking reservations right away, then this, too, has to be laid out in John's message or in some other message.  There is no discussion about making reservations, what the options are, Viva's role, her condos, other space, and all the stuff people need to know so they can make decisions. 

 

I know there's a lot of discussion on the blog, but people just are not going to go there and wade through all the entries to figure this out - hell, I've been in on this for the past couple of days and I'm not sure I understand it all!  We need to lay out all the plans and the process as clearly, precisely, and accessibly as possible. 

 

Unless I'm too bleary eyed to see it, I just don't think the layout of the link is ready for a public invitation. 

 

Help me, I've fallen over and can't get up.
