Thanks for letting us know about this and keeping us in the loop! Hopefully members here can join in on the fun since I know we've been wanting a get together! So it would be great to pool members from all the forums/groups and meet each other. I keep hearing how much fun the last one was!

Thanks Pam.

The planning committee has decided to announce this 17 months ahead of time in order to give fans enough time to plan for it. We have many interesting C's related activities and special guests planned. It should be lots of fun.

For everyone that is interested, I urge you to please sign up for email announcements: http://www.carpenter...r.org/ann.shtml .

Specific dates and events will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

Has anyone here been to a previous Carpenters encounter event?

Yeah I did that poll a few days ago. There seems to be a possibility that it might be put off til Feb 2008. As much as I'd love it to be in July (the sooner the better!!), it would be much easier financially if it was delayed. I wonder why they were considering changing the date? hmmm.gif

Wow, I wish I could go too...But I can't since we're saving up for our wedding next next year...I wonder if my boss will go back home there in the US and I could hop into his bag? rolleyes.gif
Or how far is California from New York or Kansas? I have friends there, perhaps I could stay with them if I could go so that I'd save on hotel expenses..

New York is on the other side of the country. 2,000 miles approximately? Kansas is not as far away as New York but still way too far.

I'd like to go but would have to find someone to share expenses for the hotel.
