I am sorry!

[crecco]

  Well it seems that in all of my enthusiasm and planning for the summer get together, I have managed to step on some toes and hurt some feelings. I want you all to know that I never meant for any of this to happen and I am deeply hurt by what I have done. So much so that i am thinking of just bowing out gracefully now so as not to cause any more hard feelings.
  As I said in the begining, I did not want to be considered the "head" person in all of the planning and I was looking to you all for suggestions to help make it a weekend we would all remember. But I knew that a lot of you were not feeling well so I went ahead on my own. I guess now that was the wrong thing for me to do.
  As for now, I think that I will just take a break from everything and let things progress as they may.
And know that I am truely sorry for those that I hurt.
       Love Chris

Chris, when it comes down to booking hotel rooms and such we need to not discuss that on the open forum.  With the whack jobs we have, we have to make sure that everyone who is coming is who they say they are.  I am not sure yet how to do that, but we are a group of sitting ducks for just about any whacko once we are up there as a group.  There have been people responding that none of us know and I am not comfortable with that.  I guess I didn't think about this as much as I should have.

I am  glad as well that you are  going thru with the planning of this get together.I don't know what happened either but in any organization or group that I have been a part of  there  has to be someone that  is willing to do the foot/mind work to get something started or in most cases it never gets off the ground.So I applaud you Chris for  stepping up to the plate and  doing what you feel is in the best interest of the ladies here.
I'm not sure I will be attending,but there is a good possiblity I will,so when all info is in,just post it out there and  they will come!
Best wishes to you,Mary Ann

I know how excited you have been about the gathering. I also know you started back in late March and on your April 6 and 8 post you were still asking for help and suggestions. I admire you for all your work with everything else that has been going on with you. I can't put together a dinner at home for me and Johnny myself. Keep up the good work.   Donna

Chris,
I only wish I was able to go, so that I could actually meet all the wonderful women on here and I have followed the posts just to see what you all are planning. I think it will be wonderful for you and the other ladies on here to meet and hopefully, get the word out about OVCA.  It's like any thing that you "join" in life, PTA, Church groups, etc.... there is always someone not happy but I say, too bad - Chris is doing the work and I applaud you for that.  I am hoping the hurt feelings go away!

Chris,

Keep up the great job.  Regarding a slogan, how about "Beat the Beast - Submission and Remission"

Perhaps my dry sense of humor.  But that's how I've been feeling recently with trying to help my mom.
