Exactly, Erin. I want to meet the other CR members. Whatever Yulia chooses for us is fine with me. Just fine. Sebastien and I were going to drive to Quebec City afterward.

I'm very sorry to have panicked. I can host new york. I'll think of the conference as a short story, not an epic. There, I can breathe.And NE, I apologize for misinterpreting your comments.
Great news, Yulia! :) Just be yourself and you'll do a wonderful job! :)

Hooray!
Oh, good, Yulia. And just remember, that many of us are old hands at this. Any time you feel like you are getting stressed, just ask one of us to help out. It's not even a short story--it's a very good paragraph.
Is there a date for the NY meeting? And what's the date for Milwawkee?
You mean Minneapolis? There is no upcoming Milwaukee convention. That was in 2001. There's a whole folder with information about the Minneapolis Convention. The dates are September 16th through 19th. It's always the third weekend in September.
Oh, thanks Sherry. Glad to know you have friends in Yonkers. My cousins are in Riverdale.:-)
Yulia, judging from the chatter here, I think you might get a really good turnout for your gathering in NYC :)
Yulia,You don't have to go to all of the events with us. You only have to make suggestions, and we hope that you will make reservations at restaurants. When we went to San Francisco in 2006, Pres Lancaster, Pat Belden, and I shared the duties. Pres was not in the best of health so he met us for dinners only, and Ernie and Pat Belden met us one evening for dinner. It is nice to have a host who can find things that will interest us. You can do most of that just from listening to your friends and from reading the paper. Don't be afraid. Sherry has hosted two conventions and I have hosted two also, so we will be available to help.

2007 - Asheville
2008 - Santa Fe
2009 - Portland
I missed the first one because I hadn't found CR yet, the 2001 convention because of 9/11, and the Chicago convention because we were moving from Denver to San Diego. They have all been wonderful.
I'd love to be a host sometime, but personally, I think 2012 should go to MAP and Pittsburgh. It would be terrific! I see from Jane's schedule CR hasn't been in Pennsylvania yet, and it's a beautiful state. September is a wonderful month to visit Pennsylvania.
What's MAP, Gabrielle?And I agree, Pittsburgh is fantastic.
Map lives in Pittsburgh and offered to host 2012 I think.

Monica, it's not what, it's who ... MAP is a CR member who lives in Pittsburgh.
And I would love to do Pittsburgh!
Where's the folder with the Minneapolis information?

I'd love to do Pittsburgh, too, Erin! :)

Jane, thanks so much for the reassurance. Making suggestions and reservations for where to stay, eat or visit shouldn't be a problem at all. I hope to join everyone for as much as I can when it's finally time.
I hope I will be able to attend. My daughter was talking about joining me there.

CAT represents my initials but I switched a C for a K. Hence kittykat.
