Oregon Travel Group Meeting Sat, April 15th 10AM

Mark your calendar for the next Oregon Travel Group meeting: Panera Bread on Sprague Road in Woodburn (in the Outlet complex) at 10:00am.

The staff at Panera were very accommodating. The booth at Panera handled about it's maximum of 13 travelers.

I looked for other places to meet: library (they charge for rooms) community college (not big enough there in Woodburn). A bar/brewpub might be opened as early as 10am and may be quieter in the morning.

By the way, I found an Icebreaker outlet store there that had a nice sale. Picked up anther merino wool t-shirt. :-)

If anyone has a suggestion for a more suitable location/venue let's be open to a change of location.

Hi Becky,

Thanks for doing all the venue research! We are planning on being there for this meeting - really enjoyed the last one. The earlier time should make a big difference in the noise level. :0)

See you next month. Happy Spring and Happy Travels (and planning)!

It's APRIL already! Time to mark your calendar again (or tap your smartphone) for Saturday April 15th at 10:00am. That's when we meet at the Panera in Woodburn OR (right there next to the Outlet Mall) to discuss past travels, share stories and plan for the future.

What's your favorite/best/glad-I-thought-of -that travel tip/toy/tool/thing? Bring it for show and tell!

See you on Saturday 4.15.17. (And you still have 2 days to file your tax return, without extension, so that is not a reason to stay away!)

Hi Becky!

I am really sorry, but Joe and I cannot make it this time. Too much craziness happening on the home front right at the moment. We will miss you all and plan on attending next month. Thanks again for getting this going!!

Becky,

Given all of the cancellations, do you think we should skip this month?

If all goes as planned with my walk this morning, I'll be there by 10. Otherwise may be late, but hope to show up!

I'll be there. Last month we had about 13 or so. Small meetings are good, too.
I'm a bit concerned about that fireball in the sky.
Oh.
Wait.
That's the sun and it's supposed to be there.
All is well.
