May meeting anyone?

Spring has sprung and summer is shockingly close.

(wait..is summer already here?) and it would be absolutely

lovely to see everyone's shinning faces again. Last month

did, unfortunately, come to a close without a CC meeting

but Im pretty sure the month of April wreaked havoc on

everyone and everything. But let us see if we can meet up

this month for a lunch planning session. Im thinking:

May 15 for evening tea or dinner

or

May 16 for late breakfast, lunch, or tea

{I need to be home by 4 this day for a church activity}

{Im leave the 20th for the rest of the month}

Suggestions on where to eat:

Beehive tea house (SLC) for lunch or tea

Grand America (SLC) for tea

Ruth's Diner (SLC) for breakfast

The Dodo (SLC) for lunch or dinner

Cucina Deli (SLC) for lunch

"Spark" (Provo) for lunch or dinner and fancy drinks

Happy sumo or Mikado (SLC) for sushi

Anywhere with an outdoor patio too.

Please make some suggestions

As this will be a planning meeting it would be awesome

if all of you could come with at least 3 suggestions for

things you would want to learn and themes for meetings

and 1 or 2 things that you would be willing to teach or host.

Our CC activities can range from casual and small to

large and in depth, go with whatever style fits you.

Don't feel intimidated or worried about

any of your thoughts just write em down. It will be fun

to have the variety in styles.

Please comment or email me with your suggestions

and RSVPs so we can choose a definite time and place.

I look forward to seeing all of you.
