Active Rain meetup in Sacramento Area April 2012 - a great time!!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Gold, Fair Oaks

Although many of us Active Rainers feel we get to know each other somewhat from our blog posts and comments, and a few of us may have done some business together, we also have AR members right in our own areas whom we have never actually met.

Well, if you have never been to an Active Rain Meetup in your area, keep an eye out for the next one.  They come up two or three times a year and they are so much fun!

In the Sacramento area, we have had three such meetups, and this most recent one last week was probably the most successful yet, as far as how many of us attended, although all three have been great. We had 17 at this meetup - all members, and I know that next time it will be even more.

Ours was at the Yard House Restaurant in Roseville, CA this time, and was set for Friday from 3-6 pm.  As often happens, a few people had other engagements and arrived a little late, but we all had time to visit and laugh and share stories and learn more about each other.

In the group photo above, not everyone had yet arrived, so I got a few candid shots to include those who missed the group one.  As you can see, we all looked as if we had known each other much of our lives - and we even felt that way to some extent!  See how many of these folks you recognize from their blog profile photos.

I recommend that you subscribe to the official AR blog written by Kerrie so that you can stay apprised of what fun things are coming up.  And if you missed this meetup in your area, you won't miss the next one!  And thank you Leilani Souza for organizing each of the three meetups that have taken place in our area.

Kerrie - Thanks! I wouldn't miss a meetup if at all possible.

Gary - You really should try to get to the next one in your area. And Leilani Souza gets the credit for getting ours organized and all of the invites out.

Jim - You're right - we did!

Cal - I amended my post to add a list of people who were there.  I think I get them all, but I might have missed someone.lucma

Okay Ray - It's a date!  Hope you can make it.  Keep an eye out for Kerrie to announce the next Rain Camp, and we'll have another meetup at about the same time.

Susan, I love all of the candid photos you took at our MeetUp! I knew you'd come up with a great blog post like this one...I just knew it! :)

Leilani

P.S. I'm on my way to feature this post in our  ActiveRain MeetUps - Sacramento, CA  group! :)

Thank you Leilani.  Now I'm going to bed.  This has been a rough couple of days for me - especially today, when we lost a cat we've been nursing pretty much day and night for over a month.  It was hard to get this post written, but I wanted to share what a great time we had. And the meetup was also a good break for me away from the emotion of caring for our poor sick Smitty.

I'm so sorry, Susan. I lost my first (and only) cat a few years ago and I am still not ready for another one. Don't know if I ever will be, after having her for a wonderful 14 1/2 years, as she was what I would consider a "once-in-a-lifetime" cat. I'm sorry for your loss. :(
