Guest tearose Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Will it be near a train station? I don't think it will be an easy journey for me right now. I would love to attend but the trip from home to grand central takes a lot of time and energy. How close to a train from Grand Central to the Starbucks you selected?I can't decide until I know more about where. Thank you for your efforts too! tearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Girl Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I would also be interested in meeting closer to Grand Central station--Queens is too much of a trip for me. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunfish Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 i'm nowhere near new york but just wanted to remind folks that the 7th is the day before easter and thus in the midst of some school's spring breaks as well which could affect schedules for some...i never know the date but just saw it today when i was scheduling med appts it caught my eye.hope you all are able to meet at some point though. it's always fun to put names with faces. melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'd love to meet up with you and could probably meet on the 7th if you're meeting in Manhattan. Looking forward to meeting in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tearose Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Manhattan and the 7th is looking good for me!Keep us posted!thankstearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 So So happy to see these responses.. I have responses on other forums for dysautonomia also. So I will keep it for April 7th at 1:00PM in Manhattan. Someone suggested to meet in Grand Central and then go somewhere from there. Whatever is easiest for everyone. If you have any ideas please feel free to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi Everyone.. Just wanted to keep everyone updated that is definite for April 7th at 1:00pm. There are many areas that we can meet up and if it's nice out we can go to one of the parks. Are most of you coming in through Grand Central or Penn Station?? We need to all put something on us so we can find each other and hook up.. So much looknig forward to meeting. By the way I have been suffering with many palpatations lately.. Very uncomfortable.

Guest tearose Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I think most of us were hearing Grand Central, April 7 and 1:00pm. Is this still it? This works for me.As for where, the big information booth in the center of the main floor is perfect to meet. It is the old, famous booth with the multi-sided clock on top. Just ask all of us to hold a lollipop in our hand or stick a tag on our shirt that says "Sandy" or whatever you want us to do! I will be holding my seat cane, or sitting on it...kinda will make me stick out in a crowd anyway!There is a coffee shop directly across the street... plenty of places nearby to walk to after we gather.I am sorry to hear about these new chest palpitations, I hope you can find a way to make them go away.take care, tearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom4cem Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Sandy, Wish I could make it, but looks to tough with getting back from a little trip that morning and then kids have games in the p.m. If something changes I'll let you know. Really great idea and so glad you got it started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Between work and my job search I'm spread really thin right now and have had to spend the last 3 weekends in bed. I don't think I'll be able to make it this time either, but keep us posted. I'd love to come next time.-Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I WANT TO UPDATE EVERYBODY ABOUT THE MEETING SATURDAY, APRIL 7th AT 1:00 pm. IS IT OK WITH EVERYONE TO MEET IN FRONT OF MADISON SQUARE GARDEN NEXT TO PENN STATION ? IT SEEM LIKE IT WOULD BE A CONVIENIENT PLACE FOR EVERYONE, AND FROM THERE WE COULD GO TO STARBUCKS, WHICH IS NEXT DOOR. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE EVERYONE IN THE GROUP, PLEASE WEAR A WHITE RIBBON ON YOUR RIGHT SLEEVE. POST HERE IF YOU INTEND TO GO, AS THIS WILL GIVE ME AN ACURATE IDEA OF HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL ATTEND. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL.

sandy Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hi Everyone, So I went to Manhattan on Saturday and waited in front of Madison Square Garden till 1:30 and no one showed up.. One person said that they arrived at 1:10 but did not see anyone with a white ribbon and left.. MSG was packed because they were having a circus that day so it would have been hard to spot anyone. But I was dissapointed to see no one showed. I must admit I did not plan it well so hopefully if I ever try again it will be a better turn out.. Well it was not a wasted day cause my husband and I spent the rest of the day in the city. I must say it was very cold but it turned out to be nice..
