Re: List Meeting at Raleigh

**W*@aol.com**

Doug et al -

I think combining with the TweetUp is a good idea - but I'd check with  
Helen Yoest first.

An alternate idea is to use an etablished GWA mtg event that is pretty  
under-utilized as far as networking and just say those on GWL find each  other 
there. For instance, at one of the early breakfast mornings - say to  GWLers 
that we will all sit at the back 5 tables and "look for the red  ballons." 
Make sense? 

Another idea or additional one anyway is for write "GWL" somewhere on  our 
badges so we can find each other -- or maybe even invest in a sticker to  
"brand" us in the mob. Or maybe we say everyone on GWL "wear a purple  scarf" 
on Friday or some other color/wardrobe item :-). 

Anyway, thoughts at the end of a long day...

Kathy Jentz

Doreen  just emailed me (as co-list owner) telling me she wasn't going to be
able  to get to Raleigh for GWA this year.  I'm going so I said I'd  check
with the list and see if they want to have a get-together at some  point
during the conference.

I understand there's a big tweetup  being organized for the Wed night so th
at
might be taking the place of this  meeting for some folks.

But bottom line - if enough people want to get  together from this list, 
I'll
check it out and try to organize  something.

So - if you want to attend - drop me a note offlist or  respond here and
we'll take it from there.

Doug
