Hi Doreen, Wow, this is great! Thank you for passing this on to your readers and those interested in coming! I think we are in store for some great participation and the guest list and RSVP's is growing hourly! Be sure to check back and call me for any questions or concerns you may have in regards to this new networking group. Hope to see everyone there!  Thanks, Dori.... :)  Isn't the internet powerful!! ??

Doreen, how cool is that! What a great idea and super networking opportunity. (and meeting at a bakery, heaven!LOL!) Have fun!

Candace, I think this network will be a hit!  Thank you for setting it up.

Oh Debbie, they don't call it Paradise Bakery for nothing!  They have really good food there.  Heavenly food.  I have no doubt it will be a delicious very good meeting.  LOL as I waddle away...

Doreen:

Wish I was close enough to join. This looks like it is going to be great fun.

Road Trip!  Grab Jason and a few others and head on over! 

I think you're right, this will be fun.  Lot of really cool people already involved! 

Doreen.. Pretty impressive blog to help spread the word. For this first meeting, that is a heck of a line up! And, to get Jay T in the house to share some ideas can't hurt. :-) Looking forward to having some fun with this group!

Hi Nick, Thanks.  I agree we are fortunate to have so many great people right here locally.  Yes, Jay knows so much and is so willing to share. 

See you there! 

Hi Doreen, great job on your post! When I get a minute or more, I'll try and spread the word as well, though I think between you and Candace, you've done a stellar job of letting everyone know. ;-) Should be fun!! AND so looking forward to meeting all of you. It feels like we already know each other, but to actually "see" and "verbalize" is very cool.

Ahem... not that everyone wouldn't be able to guess... but... uh... I understand there will be cookies involved.

Doreen,

This is great. The word is getting out there. It'll be good to see you again. It's been a while and you don't post much on your blog here so I'm not sure what's on your mind!!!

See you in a few weeks! 

 An opportunity to be around people who take action!  Planning to be there...you said it, "group for all levels..."

Aloha Doreen,

Thanks for the upbeat blog. It's exciting to hear of people connecting through blogging. I love the motto that was chosen "Reach Your Dreams While Helping Others Reach Theirs!", It's a powerful message that more people should embrace.

PS I like how you matched your background to your collar.

PPS my graphic word was kokuwa, Kokua in Hawaiian means 'to help', very synchronistic.

Peace,

What a nice looking post.  I like the idea of networking with others in your area.  Your temp/time is nice too.  Wish it was 78 degrees here!!  We are expecting SNOW tomorrow.  So much for spring - my poor little flowers are trying to come up..... :)

Hi Teri, I'm looking forward to meeting those I haven't yet and seeing people I haven't seen in a while.  I'm hoping to learn much from the people in the know!  See you soon! 

Step away from the Lemon Cookies and no one will get hurt.  Chuck, you are not allowed to come near my cookies, sorry, you've done this to yourself.  LOL  Looking forward to meeting you... 

my graphic is 'cassabanana'  that's funny! 

Shailesh, you're right, long time no see!  I don't get out much.  LOL  Looking forward to seeing you (and Aimee?) again. 

Hi Jeff, Welcome to ActiveRain.  Yes, this is for all of us and there will be some with great experience there to lead the way.  Looking forward to seeing you there. 

Aloha Kimo, Thanks for visiting.  Yes, do unto others really is they way we should live our lives.  I didn't even try to match the colors, but I did notice after I set it up that they were so close.  Will think about you living in paradise, while hanging out at the bakery paradise. :) 

Hi April, Trust me, come July and August, you'll be glad you are there.  I know the weather has been kind of crazy in the Midwest and north and east.  I hope it calms down soon.  Have a great weekend! 

Doreen - I know how you did your header as well...Great post.  I hope you have a great turnout!  I'd come but with the cost of gas...from Cali to AZ ouch....don't wanna think about it.

Hi Dorene, The idea is for this to become a regular group.  Once it gets going, maybe we'll do something big enough to have people from other locations come also.  I wonder how far this gas thing will go... it's bad, now.
