Can you explain September a Event?

Fun50's

I am fairly new to the forum and I saw a post by Angie about a September YLF event. It looks like everyone knows what these events are but I have no clue. Who is invited? How do you find out where and when? More information would be helpful. Thanks

Welcome! I am fairly new to the forum, too.

As far as I understand, this is when individuals who participate in the forum meet up in real life.

There will be one in Seattle in September and one of the women who helps Angie with t he forum (and thus all of us), Inge, will be travelling to Seattle from somewhere in Europe.

I have no idea if you have to be invited or if you can just show up and tag along.

Angie has informally invited everyone on the forum, so that would include you. If you read the thread, I think there are more details:

If you need more information besides what is on the thread, you can send a message to Angie using the messaging feature on the forum. I am sure that Angie will want to know that you are coming.

There is also a thread for a cocktail party as part of this event. It will be hosted by Dashielle (her real name is Ann):

Last spring, forum members in the northeast started chatting in the forum about a Boston gathering -- basically to meet in person and shop together -- and then Angie surprised us by letting us know that she and Greg would be in Boston on a particular weekend, so we made the gathering on that weekend and it became a celebration of YLF's birthday. It was incredibly fun: breakfast and lunch with women from the forum, and shopping in between. Time with Angie is incredibly special. Time with other women on the forum is, too. It was an amazing opportunity, and I will jump if I get another chance to join in. Sadly, I can't do Seattle (I will actually be in Seattle two weeks beforehand!!!) -- but there will be another meetup someday.

I started reading the forum around the same time as the Boston gathering that Viva mentioned, so I also went throughout the same process of wondering what the heck these gatherings are all about!

Although I've never been to one, I feel these gatherings are such a special part of YLF. Just a really neat example of how this really is a welcoming and global community of friends. You'll occasionally see folks suggest a "meet up" in the general or off-topic section of the forum. It can be a simple as, "I'm going to be in X city on X dates, does anyone want to get together for shopping and lunch." They are open to everyone. I think there have been discussions about meet ups in Las Vegas, Michigan, and California this summer/fall in addition to the BIG ONE in Seattle. Seattle is exciting because both Inge and Angie will be there. Wish I could go!

Gigi linked to the threads - there really isn't a more official source of information. Everything just evolves on the tread as a conversation like everything else around here!

And we often have "mini-meetups" of those who live in our general vicinity. It's fun!
