Umm, first this is not a rant, so please dont take it as such. I think we can all help each other out here.
Emails have been sent out in the past...on several occasions...to little to no avail (ie national GTG last year). So perhaps a couple of things would help, 1) if your interested in attending a GTG, try to check the site more often...We have been really good about setting and alerting of potential GTG's with plenty of time. I understand that everyones schedule is different, we will probably never get everyone at one GTG, but in the future, even if you dont think you will be able to attend the one scheduled, post up, show your interest or dis-interest, so that we can know to attempt to duplicate the GTG at another date or not. If you dont, it is assumed that there isn't any interest and viewed by the cruise cordinators as rubbish. It my goal as a Cruise Cordinator to put together fun gatherings where fellow Ave owners can come together and have fun times and maybe ooo and aaa about each others Aves, you know the stuff that makes it their Aves. And that brings me to 2) which is my bad, in the future, no matter how many people are slated to show, I will do a better job in posting exactly what and where the group will be. I am sorry I didnt on a few occasions because again, I ended up just calling the person I knew was interested, discussed it and we met for breakfast. Ive been talking to a few members and came up with a few ideas for GTG's this summer, I will postup so please vote and get rolling on some cool gatherings shall we.
Thanks
