Tulsa Area Travel Group Meeting May 18

I can't believe that May is already here. For many. May is the perfect month - it's warm but not hot yet, the March winds and April rains have backed off - well, a little. And for many of us, it's travel time!

A number of the core members of our group will actually be traveling this month, but we're still scheduling our meeting. So: our next travel group meeting will be Saturday, May 18, at Panera Bread at 41st and Hudson (that's 5601 E. 41st, between Yale and Sheridan), at 10:00 a.m. Long-time member Jesse is planning to be there; Karen should make it if she doesn't have to work, and we're hoping several other of our regulars drop by, as well. And newbies are always welcome! All topics are open for discussion, and all comers are welcome. It's an open forum - come join in the fun.

I'm going to ask Jesse and Karen to keep an eye on this thread. If neither of them can make it to the meeting, they can post a notice here in the comments. Or if they are coming, they can make it clear here, as well.

If you love to travel, or would like to travel, or are curious about travel, come join us. Anyone is welcome; you don't have to have been on a Rick Steves tour, or any tour at all. You'll recognize us by the RS books on the table, and the big smiles on our faces.

Actually, attendance at our summer meetings will be spotty. Four of us are traveling in May, and will miss that meeting. Kim and Eileen will be back in June, but Stan and I will miss that one. We will be back for our July meeting, but Kim has to work that day. And I think Jesse is going to be traveling at least one of those times...

But it just means that we'll have more stories to share whenever we do make it. I can't wait to see Kim's scrapbooks, but we won't be sharing a meeting with her until August!

They're worth the wait, though. Jesse brought her Siena scrapbook to our last meeting, and it brought back great memories, and a renewed desire to head back to Italy. Maybe 2020?

Jesse is planning on attending the meeting, and we've heard from one new person who wants to come. So anyone else in the Greater Tulsa area, come on down!

Uh-oh; just heard from Jesse. Something has come up and she can't attend the meeting.

If anyone else does show up, just relax, have a cup of coffee, and display a RS book prominently. If you don't have one, just look welcoming, and chances are someone will show up and ask "Is this the Rick Steves group." It's happened to me!

Our June meeting will be the 15th, and Kim should definitely be there.

Looks like this meeting is cancelled. One of our other regulars has to work that day, and the new person decided to wait until next month.

Sorry folks. But starting June 15 we should be back in the swing of things, even though several of us will basically be taking turns hosting the meeting for a few months. Kim will be there in June, but not July. I'll be there in July, but not June...

It'll work. We'll see you this summer.
