Oh I see. I missed that completely when I read through it

I hope we can still all get together no matter where I will try to be there. I really did not see the point in the second poll but that's just me.
I know that I got a PM from Admin after the last meet up . Asking ???'S and to me it seemed they were upset they were left out. but that confused me because didn't they want just that???

I will do my Darnedest to be at the meet up no matter where it is

ok....a question...why were they left out if they wanted to be involved...it is after all called the YT International Meet Up....right?.....so in my opinion it just seems right that they would be involved...looks like somethings need to be checked into before all is said and done to plan the next one.....how many of you live within 30 miles of Alexandria that could help with the meet up if it is still held there....to me it sounds as if it would be easier on everyone if people were close enough to help with the planning that could actually go in person to check some of the stuff out....that way make sure that it is very accommodating to us and our furbabies.....again in my opinion admin should be as much involved in this as they want to be

I think you read my post wrong.
They were not part of the meet up Per there request. When the planers made the stuff they left YT off the shirts for copy right reasons. ( they did not want YT admin to get upset.So when admin saw that they sent at least me a PM asking about it. I don't know about everyone else but I made sure anyone who asked knew about YT and that was what the meet up was to me.

I imagine since the poll thread just got closed today they havent had time to figure anything out

[Shelby&Seymour]

OH MY.....Lots of changes since I have checked in. I see that the poll has been closed. I guess it is just sit and wait.

My enthusiasm has been dampered...... which is really sad, because I too, was planning on going either place. Hopefully it will still happen.

I do question if there really would have been a "vote off" if the results would have been different. I know that at least 4 of the 5 committee members -I don't know who the 5th member is-voted for San Diego by looking at the poll results. (no offense....everyone had their favorite place to go....but it does seem a bit strange). Those that are asking about this DO have a legit reason to question this.

San Diego is a beautiful town....I have family very near there.. and I think it would have been fun as well as Alexandria... which would have been close enough to do my "lighthouse tour" (but as everyone knows, I voted for poor little ole' Charleston!!.. ).

I am not going to make any more "votes" until I see where this is going....... but I do hope that it continues. IN THE MEAN TIME, I think that I will try to get something going with a few of the "local Yorkie Dorkies" ..... hopefully this fall.

I sincerely hope that there is a 2009 International YorkieTalk meetup and that the committee honors the vote/poll that has been done. I don't see how the committee could make any other decision and still be credible as a voice of YorkieTalk. Since the other thread was closed I am wondering if Admin will be a more active part of the 2009 MeetUp. I sincerely hope so, I think the involvment of Admin and the moderators in an official capacity would greatly benefit the MeetUp.

I am already thinking about the 2010 meetup that will be held on the west coast. I have never been farther west than the rockies so it will be quite an experience for me. Chances are good that if I have to fly I will not bring my furbutts, but at least I will have an opportunity to meet, greet, and hug many of my YT family members.

I know admin didn't want to be involved and I completely understand but it would be nice if one or more of the mods had the time to take some part on the committee. They are alway so fair and impartial it would probably make everyone feel a little better about decisions. It sounds like the committee did a fantastic job this year but I think it would put a lot of minds at ease to have an impartial party. There has obviously been some concern about this re-vote and to be honest, I was a little surprised that FL wasn't even on the list for the first one. I know that not everyone thinks FL is great but tourism is our industry so obviously it is a place people like to visit and it was suggested quite a bit. It's a moot point now but still... I know the mods have their real life to deal with and might not have the time to invest in this so I do understand if they aren't willing but I think it would be great to extend the invitation.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who noticed this.
