...Sorry for the cross posting with RE Users Forum... I am working with the conference coordinator this year to try to find a way for Forum RE users to get together in some way at the conference. I offered to try to coordinate this because I suggested it last year and although it seemed like a great idea in practice they never implemented anything. As coordinator all I promise to do for you is get us a room and meeting time. I can't promise cocktails and a buffet - although... wouldn't that be nice! They have asked me for an estimate number of people who might be interested so they can see if a room is available and therfore.. Please reply to me directly if you will be attending the conference in October in Charleston, SC. Please also let me know if you would be interested in a reception or meeting place on Sunday during pre-conference, a meeting time during the week in lieu of a conference session, or have another idea for meeting up. If you are attending and you think meeting up with the forum does not interest you also please let me know. It gives us a full picture of the feasibility of this. Melissa S.

I have gotten responses from several people regarding this and just wanted to ask one more time to see if anyone is interested. Melissa S. Graves Manager, Development Database & Direct Mail Planned Parenthood of Connecticut [Email Removed] 203-752-2804 *** Sorry my typing is not what it should be!

Now that the conference is only weeks away I am needing an estimate number of people attending our informal meeting of RE Forum Users. I believe that there are now 27 of us interested in meeting. If you want to be counted in the group please contact me as soon as you can. Melissa S. Graves Manager, Development Database & Direct Mail Planned Parenthood of Connecticut [Email Removed] 203-752-2804 P.S. Still looking for more people to meet with while at the October Conf. There are now over 20 of us getting together! Email me if interested.

In less than 2 weeks I will be at the BB Conference on Philanthropy. There are now over 30 Forum users getting together on Sunday to meet and get to know eachother. We have exchanged information including some great pictures of eachother so we will recognize eachother when we are there. Interested in joining us? Email me directly so we can get you on the list. Melissa S. Graves Manager, Development Database & Direct Mail Planned Parenthood of Connecticut [Email Removed] 203-752-2804 P.S. Look for me at the conference. Forum users are meeting on Sunday at from 4:30 - 6:00. Ask where at the check in desk.

I will not be able to attend but would like to know if folks would be interested in meeting for networking purposes at a future date. I'll check in again post conference.
