Update:
Hello again,
So we are indeed meeting a week from tomorrow- Friday, December 18th, 7pm, at Fairlawn West UCC in Akron (2095 W. Market Street, Akron, OH 44313). I’ll have a couple of pizzas there if others can bring drinks/sides/dessert. For topic ideas, I thought it might be good to discuss something seasonal, such as how we communicate the meaning of Christmas as postmoderns (or even what that “meaning” is). Of course, if others have ideas for discussion, we’re open to that too. Mostly it will just be good to be together, catch up, and perhaps celebrate the season a bit. I hope to see you all there, and please let me know if you can make it so that we have enough pizza, etc.
Hey folks,
Well, a quorum of Jeff’s is inquiring about the cohort meeting, which is all I was waiting for!
The holiday season is obviously upon us (by the way, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!). Traditionally, it’s been hard for us to get together at this time of the year, but then again, that’s sometimes true generally as well. Still, I hope we can make it work to find a good time to meet. So, having said all of that, I’d like to propose the following two dates for us to meet. Please let me know if they work, or if you have an alternative suggestion:
- This Saturday, 12/5/09
- Friday, 12/18/09
As for our meeting place, the folks at Fairlawn West UCC in Akron have graciously offered to let us meet there, if we’re interested. What do you all think about that? Or do you have another venue in mind? Let me know, and as soon as there’s a consensus (of Jeff’s or not), I’ll email the group and post something here!
when / where will u be meeting this sat? if possible, i would very much like to join the conversation; or at least be a fly on the wall for a while….
Hi Kerri,
We’d love to have you join us. It looks like we’ll be meeting on Friday the 18th instead of this Saturday, most likely at Fairlawn West UCC in Akron, around 7pm. Look for confirmed details about the meeting here on the site in the next few days. We hope to see you there!
thanks! i’ll keep my eyes peeled.
ok, i’ve found a jeff, jeff, robert, & bob, associated with this group, i’m not sure who i’m talking with here, but i wanted to let you know that my dh Gary & I are planning to join you next sat. and will be happy to bring something yummy to share. how many people do you usually have?
oops, that’s friday, right. yeah, sorry don’t want to confuse anyone with my comments. anyway, i will c u friday the 18th.
Sounds good, Kerri. As far as the number of folks coming, it’s usually hard to predict. We’ve had as few as five and as many as fifteen or so. I’d guess we’ll have around 7-10 this week, but that’s just a guess. In any case, I look forward to meeting you. See you then!
