Thanks for the information and the site - you have really been helpful with my Crissey's illness.

Welcome to Yorkietalk!

We'd love to have you and all your little dogs at the meetup. It is my understanding that it is open to yt members, their yorkies, and other small furry siblings.

You might also be interested in YT's sister site: maltestalk.com

OK..
this question doesnt pertain to meet up, but how do you set up automatic membership to donate so much a month..?

We had our first meetup in June in Kansas City on the Plaza - it was a blast! We had time together at a park, we had yorkie vendors of all types set up with their merchandise, we had 2 speakers, a dinner filled with games and raffles and the best part a pj party. You can search the forums for all kinds of information and pictures from the event. Here's a link to the pix I put up http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/my-...eeks-late.html

I am planning on going (and driving). It's about 4 and a half hours from me.

I am excited!

chattiesmom · 07-24-2008, 10:48 AM

I am so glad that we were able to help in some small way with Crissy. I can't wait to meet you in person in Alexanderia!

Question, would those costs be per person or per room?

Megan, I so hope that everything goes as planned and we are able to go .... I would LOVE to meet you and your Mom!!

i cant wait this is three hours from me and were looking forward to going, old town alexandria is beautiful

ryorkies · 07-25-2008, 04:40 AM

First I would like to thank the Committee in advance and YT for it's support and help.
I know that we will be there and since it's only a drive and not a plane trip for us we will be able to bring a few of our furbabies. Yeaaaaaaaaaa !!!!
I was born in Alexandria, so it will be nice to return and visit.
I am really looking forward to meeting you all and right now next summer seems too far away !!!

There were 150 people with over 200 pups in the Ballroom. Registration (and it included a buffet dinner) was $40/pp. There were a few YTers there and it was great to meet everyone! Hopefully you can find a great affordable place for everyone to stay.

I wish I would have known about this...I would have gone...how disappointing. Assuming it is on the same day each year...I will have to mark my calendar for next year.

erickajm · 07-26-2008, 04:29 PM

I can't wait! I will be there for sure!

we had the info posted in the regional section covering the PA area. sorry you missed it. definitely check that section regularly to see what's happening in your area or you can always check the website -- saveayorkierescue.org

not sure exactly when it will be next year - sometime between may and july

I voted for Alexandria, and I'll definitely be there with Edie.
