On one hand, it's difficult to imagine that nearly a year has gone by since the inception of this message board. On the other, with many of the friends I have met, the relationships I have established and the memories we have all shared within that time, it seems like this forum has been around for many, many years.
At any rate, we will be celebrating our one-year anniversary on January 27th, and it would be nice to mark the occasion in some way. I was thinking about the possibility of a small get-together for those interested. Let me throw an idea out there and see where it goes...
What do you all think about potentially meeting up in the Wildwoods (perhaps somewhere on the Boards) on Saturday, January 28th? If this date doesn't work out, we can always do it later, even in the spring when the weather lightens up a bit. But, whatever the date, perhaps we can all meet, get a chance to introduce ourselves, then grab lunch or something.
It's just a thought. I just realized the other day that we were approaching the one-year mark, and I figured that maybe we could all do something to celebrate, and get a chance to know each other a little better.
Any thoughts, ideas, opinions?

That is a really nice idea. The date does not work for me personally, but I would like to meet up with everyone at some point.
I am turning 30 in August and could not imagine celebrating any other place (after all, I am always in WW on my birthday.) So, once I get the plans together, I wanted to extend an invitation to everyone. 30, ugh

The date sounds great. I don't know about the weather though. Not much down there at that time to do. How about a date closer to mid March to beginning of April.

Actually, I'm glad that you decided to revisit this topic up, Cindy, as I was just thinking about addressing this...
With the weather really warming up and summer fast approaching, trying to set up a meeting of sorts with some of the other board members had been on my mind a lot lately.
I guess the best bet at this point, for the sakes of maximum turnout, is to wait for late Spring/early summer, since some of the members like wildre who live in Wildwood during that time will already be there.
Another idea is to perhaps set up a little something for Memorial Weekend. I'll be down at the Bolero then, and figure that others will be scattered across the island for the holiday as well.
Any other ideas, anyone?

Any other ideas, anyone? Memorial Day weekend would be good. A time and a meeting place emailed to all members thru the board would be good. RSVP for everyone. And maybe we could wear something that is doo-wopped themed or WW t-shirts. That way we know who we are. Just some thoughts. Name tags with our "board names" would be cool.

Memorial Weekend might be a little crazy though, especially with traffic and all. It also seems to be cursed with bad weather quite often in my experience, especially on that Monday. Maybe we could meet a week or two before?

I'll be there in about a week to 10 days. Anytime after that is fine, I'm pretty flexible. Only Saturday mornings/afternoons from mid June to September are impossible for me. Other than that I'm free as the seagulls, LOL ;D I agree with Martin, Memorial Day weather can be iffy at best.

Cute idea WINDWANDERER: "Name tags with our "board names" would be cool. "

Good points, guys.
I was thinking Memorial Weekend, not so much as a big gathering, but just as a time when maybe a few of us can meet up briefly if we're already down there.
I guess we'll have to see how everything pans out, in terms of weather and things like that.
What I was thinking, specifically, with Memorial Weekend, is perhaps a quick get-together at Sam's, if it's re-opened by then.
Construction is flying along, I know that the concrete foundation is in place, the steel structure is up, and it's being worked on feverishly. Workers on site last week told me that the plan is to have it open by Memorial Weekend.
This is great, but still feels like a stretch to me. I guess we'll have to just wait and see on that one...
