"mini" ActiveRain meetup

A couple of weeks ago, Irene Durocher emailed me that she would be in town and wanted to have lunch together, again. And, because she knows we have a great Arizona group of ActiveRainer's, asked if I would invite a few others.

Anna, Juli, Jeanne, Debora, Irene

Meeting for lunch at Charleston's at the corner of Frank Lloyd Wright and Scottsdale Rd, were Irene, Debora Nichols, Anna Kruchten and Jeane Steiner. Jeane had brought along a coupon for a free appetizer - we like FREE. We enjoyed their creamy spinach dip and chips while chatting, then continued our conversations over a great lunch.

Ladies, we need to do this again - it was fun and informative.

Irene, I hope you had a great flight back to Boca Raton.

Julie, this is GREAT that you were able to get together like this. How can you go wrong with chips and spinach dip even if it wasn't gratis!

Cindy, I'll have to stop by and read your blog about it.

Rebecca - not quite "spur of the moment" - a little planned - Irene Durocher is so organized- wish I could be more like her.

Bruce, the only thing missing was the refriend beans with the chips, LOL.

Ellen, I can't wait to read about it. It's really so much fun meeting with active activerainers.

Harry/Henry - nexti time we'll make sure we'll allow our "token" male to attend, LOL. Seriously, we missed you - you bring so much energy.

Jane, I can't think of many things better when working in the real estate world - great food, great company, and great idea sharing.

Anna, here's to many more.

Juli- Irene told me of this mini gathering and I'm so happy to see a pic from it. Isn't it just one of the best parts of ActiveRain to be able to do this. Looks like you all had a great time.

Kathy, Irene talked a lot about your meeting and the advice you're giving her as her mentor. Who better to follow than you? I hope you two will have the opportunity to work together AND to learn from each other - it's great having a mentor.

Juli, I guess that would be considered a "mini" meetup given the number of people who attended the first MeetUp! Glad you all had a great time :-0

Thanks, Kathleen - it was fun. Great information, great sharing, but, mostly, great getting to know some great people. People I wouldn't have met without having Active Rain.

Endre - you've a great sense of humor and would be a huge plus to any ActiveRain meetup - heck to any party. Come on over next time!!!!

Roy, Irene is AWESOME at sharing marketing ideas - I guess I really do need to blog on that. And, she and I give out homemade doggy treats - I gave her a few of my bags. She gave me an AWESOME Land's End tote bag - she's far too generous.

Irene, your current travel schedule has ME exhausted, LOL. I'm so glad we got together and I hope you have a wonderful, safe, next leg of your trip.

Ed, come on down to Scottsdale - we'll get a group together in your honor, too.
