SoCal DU Gathering THANKS!

[Doug Decker]

:hi:

I want to thank everyone who attended our little get together yesterday and made it such a great success. We had about 30 people in attendance and had a wonderful lunch.

Thanks to all those who brought dishes, sodas, etc. - I think I was able to thank each of you personally, if I missed anyone, THANKS!

Special thanks to NSMA for the great entrees and all the help.

I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Mark your calendar now for next year, last weekend in June.

Sincerely,
Doug

1. And I thank you!

You are the quintessential host..making sure everyone felt welcome and comfortable..you even ordered up perfect weather.

It was a great group of people and I got to spend some time with each person which was great..but, again, I think the warm loving space of your environment made it all the more enjoyable :loveya:

and that kitchen..oooh ..that kitchen...it was a joy to cook in :D

12. Thanks Doug!

My first DU gathering was extremely enjoyable!

It was great being able to meet so many like-minded people (not to mention enjoy great food--thanks NSMA!) and I'll certainly mark my calendar for next year.

13. Thanks...

It was fun.

I signed up for a house party for Michael Moore on July 11 to register voters in swimg states.

16. A fine afternoon.

Good cuisine, scintillating conversation, and
Southern California weather. My thanks to YOU Doug,
and DTH and NSMA, it's good to get out of the house,
and ordinarily I would have to PAY for food that good.

17. Hey, nobody told me. Where was it?

[Doug Decker]

18. It was posted on the home page for about 2 months....

Look for the thread next year.

The event was in the SF Valley.

20. The Host with the Most (and that's no Boast!)

I really enjoyed meeting you and making my very first field observations of subversive DUers in the wild. Next year I'll definitely make sure that I'm not getting divorced again so that I can come early and stay late, and bring my signature dish of...um....well, maybe I don't have a signature dish. Anyway, thanks!!

[Doug Decker]

23. My closest neighbor, last to show up....

so glad you stopped by. Thanks for the kind words.

Sometimes, the real world intervenes and the on-line world takes a back seat.

I just like to put a screen name to a face. Makes it more real.

21. we're so sorry we missed it, folks

Haele and I had some serious family stuff come up. We'll be sure to catch the next one, though.

[Doug Decker]
