Re: Thoughts on a retreat?

So I just got on the board today, was feeling down since I thought no one was interested (I usually get email notifications when someone replies to my thread) and BOOM, I went on my thread and was so happy to see everyone's interest!! I like the Breast Cancer Symposium idea and Jill just private messaged me about a possible lake house retreat!

I'm working on this, I was telling my sister-in-law about it over the weekend that I need to do something, Karen was a big loss for me, not that everyone else on this board has been, but she was the first one I connected with and I so wished we met face to face. We need to meet, laugh, cry, bitch, moan, or whatever we want to do - WE NEED THIS!!!
