2nd Annual--A Gathering of Our Hearts

The 2nd Annual event will be held July 16th-18th, 2010. This year it will be held in Columbus, Ohio. I am researching locations now so any ideas would be great. I am thinking of having it at Fort Rapids Waterpark and having a day at the zoo or COSI. If anyone is interested in coming please let me know either via comment or e-mail: agatheringofourhearts@hotmail.com.

Everyone will have to register to attend. I know some people last year did not register and I let it slide but this year it is a must!! It is in the interest of the families & children attending that this is done. I need to make sure everyone will be safe that is attending!!!

I will be collecting money ahead of time for t-shirts. Any ideas of where to order from or logo ideas please contact me via e-mail.

I will also need some help with some things if anyone is interested. I did it all myself b/c honestly I had no clue what it would entail to hand out jobs. Hopefully there will be more families attending so I will definitely need help!!!

Please let anyone you know about our eventl. It is not just for Guatemala families but any families whom have adopted.

I hope to see all of you there that attended last year plus many more!!

Tomorrow is the day!!

Tomorrow is the day for our weekend get-together. I am so excited and think I have all the goody bags together. Check-in time is at 3:00 & I plan on being there close to that time. The schedule is on the right of the blog. I will make sure that everyone has a goody bag with the museum passes in them. You will need to have these to receive the discounted rate when you pay for your ticket. This is NOT your ticket to get in. Please call me if you do not receive one. My cell number is on the registration form you filled out.

I will see most of you tomorrow & the rest of you on Saturday. Woohoo!!!

Still need registration forms

I received the list from the hotel and I have room reservations and no registration forms or have never heard from these people. Please contact me asap via e-mail so I can get you the registration form. If I do not receive your registration forms by Sunday you will not be able to join us for the museum or dinner. I only have reservations for those that I have registration forms for.
