I don't know this far ahead WHAT my schedule will be, but let's go ahead and plan it for any morning but Tuesday...and I'll make sure I can get that morning off.
Is there a cool place for coffee between Springfield & Branson...like Ozark ? Tha's me...bookin it to the next meeting...




Well, jdslady, at least the ambulance won't have far to go...hey! You're getting good at those smileys~cheers to you~

Thank you for the cheers,, I need to remember to NOT answer 911 line when reading a post on here. Maybe I'll sneak up on ya'll at your next OTFCC...........

Well, not being one to waste time on decision making, how about we just say October 17th? That would be the second Wed. of October. We want all of the newcomers....present and future we can get.
Besides, then you might be able to meet LJ and rest of the gang (sans me...I'll be in Las Vegas).

So that would be:

Sept 12th Wed. 10:30 Churchills Coffee on Republic (east side of Republic..east of Nat'l)
Oct. 17th Wed. 10:30 Gloria Jeans, Branson Landing (next to the Hilton)

I didn't notice any time discussion, so I picked something appropriate for coffee.
I also suggested GJ's on the Landing. Parking is easy in the AM and we should have gorgeous weather that time of year for an outdoor gathering.

What say everyone?

MrsC

And oh by the way...I won't be making the Sept. coffee club meet afterall.
I broke my ankle and I'm not ready to go public with the crutches. That's why you haven't heard from me in several days. Stepped in a hole out at the old watermelon patch.

I'm not sure but last weekend when we were at the Landing GJ's had a sign up and was closed for remodeling, not sure how long.
MrsC, you take care of that ankle and I bet you could find someone to help ya or carry ya into the gathering. Listen to me, I'm not even up there and voluntering ya'll for something...

Ok..caught my mistake..

Sept. 12th second Wed. of the month Churchills on Republic Ave. Springfield
Oct. 17th third Wed. of the month. Suggesting Gloria Jeans on the Landing
..if the one next to the Hilton is under remodel..then
the other one between the water feature and Bass Pro (Pro Bass?)
Or Keeter Center..they have GREAT coffee and pastries.


What say everyone..? Is 10:30 ok?

Her welfare is our concerrrrn!

We'll get therrrrre!




By the way, I found this info on the web, which seems especially appropriate:
"The title came from the motto for Boys Town, a community formed in 1917 by a Catholic priest named Father Edward Flanagan. Located in Omaha, Nebraska, it was a place where troubled or homeless boys could come for help. In 1941, Father Flanagan was looking at a magazine called The Messenger when he came across a drawing of a boy carrying a younger boy on his back, with the caption, "He ain't heavy Mr., he's my brother." Father Flanagan thought the image and phrase captured the spirit of Boys Town, so he got permission and commissioned a statue of the drawing with the inscription, "He ain't heavy Father, he's my brother." The statue and phrase became the logo for Boys Town. In 1979, girls were allowed and the name was eventually changed to Girls And Boys Town. The logo was updated with a drawing of a girl carrying a younger girl added."

Love, love, love your post! I'm off to get something done and singing all the way!
