 Bay Area MeetUp in Livermore Ca at Concannon Winery

The long awaited for MeetUp took place on April 17th at the Concannon Winery in Livermore.  A special thanks to Concannon for providing the venue for ActiveRain Members and invited guests to meet up.

It was a beautiful day. I enjoyed seeing so many friends again.  It was a delight to meet a few members for the first time. 

There were 17 people in attendance at this grand event!


We participated in wine tasting; enjoyed great food; beautiful scenery; entertainment; and we had fun!  Antonio & Alexia - Realtors in Motion gave each of us their 2012 calendar!   

I held my camera on Brad and Debra Lee while they entertained us with a song. I thought I was creating a video ... but I only took a photo.  A real Duah moment for the day!

If I had been filming you would have heard them sing this!


I did manage to capture Pacita Dimacali on video!

DeeDee,They really were.  Having entertainment like that was a fun way to interact.

Elisa,Pacita surprised me too. I wonder what other talents she has that we do not yet know about!

Mel, Brad and Debra Lee sing so well together.  It was real treat to enjoy. I only wish I had their live version of the song. I need to pay more attention with my camera! 

Cathy,  Nice to meet you in person as well.  I hope to see you at the next event as well.

Doug, We missed you. We hope that you will make it to a future event.

Richard,Thank you so much. We all had a great time.  The venue was relaxing. It's always nice to have face time with our friends in the Rain!

What FUN, Kathleen.  I would have been laughing along with you all.  Looks like a great day and a great time for everyone.  Where did Pacita get the shirt?  I want one, LOL.

Juli, She won it from Brad by answering the question: What movie was the song they sang (You belong to me) in. Brad said they don't make them anymore. Pacita was psyched!  I remain envious!  I have shirt-envy!

This was more fun than one person should be allowed!! lol~

We had such a great time and the food and wine was awesome, but as always, the best part of these events, gatherings, and meetup get togethers is the wonderfully warm and genuine sincere people you get to hang out with.

Although ActiveRain is a great site, it's the "fantastic" people who make up the membership and attendance here that are the most valuable asset by far!!!  Thanks for having us, and thanks for helping to put this all together.

Lets do it again soon!!

PS. Regarding the video/photo op, you did great!!  :-)

Brad,  If I had ever associated with an office filled with people like we had at our MeetUp I don't see how or why I would ever have left. As I explained to my friends/guests last night on our way home, the people are real professionals and I never feel like I am with a group of real estate agents when I am with them. 

Linda, So glad you were there.  The next one will be over-the-top ... I just have a feeling :-0

Debbie, We definitely have a very unique group of people in the bay area. The mix at our event was the best ever. They just keep getting better!

Kathleen,

I was so delighted to attend the Meetup and see familiar faces and meet new AR friends. Great location. Great food and wine. Great people. We did not get a chance to talk. MY BAD!  We will correct the oversight next time at Antonio and Alexia’s place. (Sounds like a great nightclub.)
