Right now, either weekend is open.  There is a function that happens mid January that I have not been given the date for yet, and it could be the 17th.  Maybe the 31st would be better.

Can he come ...i dont have a babysitter, sis...will that be a problem? if so, i will have to figure out something..Hell, Chucky, get out the map..is Spartanburg on my way to Deb's...if so, i can take Toby to Mom's house ...figure it out for me please LOL...Dang, it is tough having children... ;;D.This is going to be fabulousssssssssssssss!  Give me the word soon so I can put down for extra time off, OK?  Us nurses have to ask way in advance these days.;;Dnancyc

Post by ClusterChuck on Nov 11th, 2003, 7:40am
Yes, Nancy, you can go through Spartanburg, but it looks like you will be adding a couple HOURS to your trip!  Quite a way out of the way.  Can Steven take him for the weekend?

Alittle nervous about that one, Chucky....afraid Tobster may get out of their house and they live right next to a road... :-[nancyc  PS did you guys see the California OUCH board site? Elaine has volunteered to help me if we are interested in starting one on down the road..wouldn't that be terrific?  I think the support would be fantastic...remember the idea about the brochures for the Neuro offices in our areas with our cards in  them...well, this could have the spot on it where there could be people on call for suffering clusterheads just like California has...I am getting really excited about the future...and i know it is on down the road but something to certainly think and dream about.

A quick reminder that the SuperBowl is Sun. Feb. 1st.
Jan. 31st weekend.
I will plan for the 31st if that is o.k. for all.  We are football fans, so the game will be on in one room, for all fellow fans.  One more reason to eat, drink, and be merry!
We have a couple extra beds, and plenty of floor space, plus the couches.
And Nancy, of course Toby is welcome!  My dog won't hurt a fly, and my cat will hide for a week.  And my rat is bigger than Toby!  And the kids are welcome too!
For everyone, all kids are welcome.  I have a 3 and 5 year old.
All are welcome to spend a night or two.
I am about 20 min. N. of Raleigh. off US 1.
More details to come.
Little Deb

Thanks for the message Deb - I didn't even see this section.....dang I'm really outta the loop......

I'm pretty excited - we have nothing planned in January that I'm aware of yet, unless the docs put me on bed rest due to the twins.  So far everything is good so hopefully that won't happen.  Count us in - not sure about the teenagers though (although they would be good babysitters for us ch'ers to have some good time together).

I'll keep everyone posted, but so far it all looks good for us.  Send hotel info that's closeby the closer it gets to January.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!   :)

Post by ClusterChuck on Nov 20th, 2003, 6:57am
Hey, Deb, you want to take a ride down with me?  I have been thinking of when it would be good to go down.  When do you want to go down?  What day would be good for you?  We can possibly meet at the intersection of I95 and I40, and then head down in one car.  (You can drive, as you are such a lead foot! haha!)

Also, what day or time of day is good for you, Paigella?  I am free most days.

Chuck

OK. An official bump for the New Year.

I will be sending out messages to everyone soon to see who is coming and plan for meals.  I also have hotel info if anyone wants it.

The plan is still for Jan. 31st.  Be at my house for lunch at 1:00 if not before, and stay as long as you want!!

That's pretty simple, huh???

Anyone reading this and planning to come, please email me so I can send you a map, and get my list going of who is coming for an accurate count.  I would hate to cook for 30 and have only 5 show up....unless they are really hungry....


debbie4278@yahoo.com


Will send out an official note soon.

Looking forward to meeting all of you who are coming!!

UPDATE!!!!!

Clusterhead Meet & Greet
Saturday, January 31, 2004
Raliegh Area, North Carolina


Here’s the scoop…

All are invited.  Supporters are encouraged to attend.  Children are welcome.

We will start out with a casual luncheon at 1:00 p.m. (ish)  If you can bring something, GREAT!  Email me for an assigned item, or let me know what you would like to bring.

We will also plan on everyone staying for dinner.  Hopefully, ClusterChuck will be bringing his HUGE pot-o-chili.  And we will have plenty of food.  Again, email me and let me know if you can bring a dish, or item for the meal.

Bring your sleeping bags!  I have plenty of floor space, and all are welcome to sleep over.  I also have a couple extra beds, and a couple comfy couches!  

I will try to have a babysitter available for Saturday, if I know children are coming.  Please let me know how many and ages.  I have a 3yr old girl and a 5 yr old boy.

Please note:  allergy alert!  I do have friendly pets.  A golden retriever and a new sheltie puppy, and a rarely seen cat.  All live in the house.

Smoker’s please note:  We do not smoke in our house.  We wish to respect the non-smokers, the children and the pregnant women in our home.  (hopefully, Mia, who is very pregnant, will be here)  Also, there will be oxygen in use.  I hope this does not offend any smokers or anyone.  There should be plenty of good company on the porch!!!  Thank you for your understanding.





I have hotel info for anyone who prefers it:

Hampton Inn- 919-554-0222  
Sleep Inn- toll free- 866-556-4007
Holiday Inn Express- 919-570-5550

These are all within 5 miles of my house and all fairly new.  But please know you are more than welcome to stay at my house.

Also, some, like NancyC, are coming on Friday.  Please feel free to come early and stay late!  NancyC is staying until Sun. or Mon.!!  For those of you coming a long distance, don’t feel like you are driving a long way for a short lunch!  Bring your sleeping bags!  It will be a VERY LONG LUNCH!!!!

I have detailed directions to my house.  Please email me and I will email you directions for security reasons.  And phone # etc.

So far, the list of “for sure” clusterheads are:

Nancy C- Columbia, South Carolina
ClusterChuck- Greenville, North Carolina
Mikey and Kim- Gastonia, North Carolina
Paigelle- Wilmington, South Carolina
Mia and Barb- Atlanta, Georgia
Rick- Raleigh, North Carolina
