Thank you! I will PM you the mailing address.

FYI - For those of you who are donating items for the goodie bags - if there is any way possible, we would appreciate you shipping all goodie bag items prior to the meet-up, so that we can get the bags stuffed and ready to go for you guys before your arrival. We're going to have everything shipped to my mom so that it will be there when we get into town to put the bags together. Michele, Jodie, and I all 3 have the mailing address, so you can PM any of us for the info. Of course, my mom (Sukoshis Gma) has the info as well. If you have something that will be too large, bulky, or heavy to ship, and you'd rather bring it with you, please PM Michele or myself, and we'll see if we can work out an alternative. At this point I'm planning on us stuffing the goodie bags on Thursday night so that they're ready to hand out to everyone at the meet-up on Friday. If we have a lot of people who can't mail their items, we may end up altering that plan, but I just figured it would be nice for you to have the bags at the start of the meet-up, as it would be a nice little bag for you to carry around the Plaza too to drop some small purchases down in.

For those of you with raffle items, there is no reason we'll need those ahead of time, so you can feel free to bring those items with you. If you would prefer to mail something ahead of time though, please PM Michele, Jodie, or myself for the address.

THANKS!

Also-nametags-I was planning to bring Emma, but I might be bringing Milli now instead. Is that going to be a problem? When do I need to let you know by? Or, are the nametags just for people ?

I was originally planning on putting the dogs' names on the tags as well, but I've already designed the tags at this point, and it would just be too crowded to try to fit the dogs' names on too, so no worries if you choose to bring a different dog than you originally said, although I may print up a listing of everyone who's attending the meet-up to distribute to everyone, and I will probably include the dogs' names on that. So...if you know ahead of time that you're bringing a different baby, then you can feel free to let me know, but it's not the end of the world if you don't. You may just have to correct everyone while you're there !!

Thanks...right now it looks like it will be Milli-simply because she does better in the car than Emma does

Thanks Ronda,

I managed to get the room reservation straightened out.

If anyone else hasn't gotten a room yet, we have room for two more if we split it 4 ways. Total for 1/4 of the room will be about $118 for Fri and Sat nights (this is with another dog deposit).

PM me if anyone still needs a room!

The only thing we could probably use at this point is more vendors to be able to shop with!!! I can hardly wait!

Looks like Michelle could use a few more small items and coupons for the goodie bags if anyone is still interested in donating. You can see her post here... http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/1973476-post42.html

Thanks in advance!

I'm giving mine to her this weekend.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we cannot wait for the meet-up and thank the organizers/planners/coordinators/donators/vendors/everyone!!!

We cannot wait Just to let y'all know, my bf and I are staying in a room just by ourselves, and I'm only bringing Kobi. (Was originally planning to bring Kiwi too, but I know she won't travel well.) Anyway, so if one of you wanted to "say" your dog was staying in my room, since I'm already paying the $50 fee per night "UP TO TWO DOGS" then, someone can save $100 or $150 for the weekend (depending how many nights you're staying), if you're interested...

I already told the hotel I'll have two dogs (since I planned on taking Kiwi when I made the reservation.) So if someone wants to do this, let me know, and I'd be happy to dogsit for the weekend ...only kidding...but they could be our "guest" as far as reservations go.

I hope that made sense. If it didn't or if you're interested, PM me

Somebody has taken the "free doggie in the room" offer. Sorry, folks, no more room in this inn...lol.

How sweet of you! I'm sure someone out there is really appreciating this offer! I can't wait to meet you in KC!

I am going to borrow an x pen from my brother for Friday. I hadn't rsvp'd the pen, so I thought I'd let y'all know!

Great...thanks !!!!

I can go into Valley Vet and see if they will donate anything. About how many items should I get if they will donate something for the goodie bags?

[Sunnie]

Lisa, can't remember if I already let you know, but I will be bringing an ex pen too

Michele is making 50 goodie bags, so she would need 50.

[kathy785]

okay, thanks! The vets that own it are very nice. I also use to work there part time. Hopefully they will be generous.
