Yep, that was probably it, I think that was one of the last meet-ups I was able to get to! As for bringing my daughter, as much as I would love to, it is a school night, and she has to be in bed kinda early, or she gets too tired during class... (her words, not mine.. LOL) I hope I can make it too...

When I went to reconnoiter the restaurant a few days ago I will say this, the placed was packed and the food was decent; however there were only a few parking spaces left. So if it is a full house already and then we have 45-50 OCer’s show up like last time be prepared to find alternate parking spots.

I don't suppose there is anyone from the general area of kalamazoo attending this who could give me a ride? I am legally blind and therefore can not drive myself and it would be quite expensive be taxi. PM if at all possible as i would love to attend.

Had a great time everyone and a big thanks to The Avenue Family Restaurant for having us and donating the free meal gift certificates! MOC represented as usual with wonderful prizes.

Thank you to everyone who attended. Final count was 39 people. It was great to see those who haven't been to an event lately and also the number of first time participants. The food and service was great and was even able to educate some patrons on MOC and what we do.

I very much liked the setup of this restaurant. We weren't tucked off in the corner like in other places or in a different room. This helped us accomplish our goal of allowing people to see us as normal people doing normal stuff.

It was great meeting everyone from the South East area...
