moolyn

I have a home exchange to New York arranged for late August but early September would work for me.

Since the GTG just would not be the same without Moolyn, I vote to wait til September. Teaacher and Moolyn, any dates that are good for you?
I'm ok for any date.

kodi - I defer to your wisdom. The whole idea of this thread was to formulate a date that would work for the greatest number. It certainly wouldn't be the same without Moolyn. How about Saturday - on the 19 or 26 or September? The weather will likely still be lovely and warm. Certainly the fellowship and camaraderie will be warm.

Does a Friday or Sunday work better for others? I suggested a Saturday to facilitate any travel arrangements for those who might have to come a distance.

Anytime in September is fine with me and my condo is available afterwards if we choose the usual place or somewhere else in the neighbourhood.

LJ

Not that you should all be driven by MY timing, but I can't make the 19th, but can do the 26th of September.

kodi

LJ it wouldn't be the same without you either. SO why donw't we aim for Sept 26.
Moolyn thanks for the generous offer. I think the same place would be just great, with coffee at your place afterwards..

Does that work for you teacher?

Moolyn is a Sat ok for you? I know usually it isn't good.

Moolyn, kodi, LJ, landineen, tedgale, Anselm, Mathieu, ahmedhaff, Elizabeth_S,goddess, sally, raquel, irecommend, lucygirl, BAK (and any others with an interest) - How does the 26th of September suit you?

Unless someone has an absolute brainwave for a different location (last year was near Front St. and Church St. in Toronto), I would love to return. I think we were well served. Thanks so much Moolyn for your kind offer.

It will be nearly impossible to find a date that suits everyone, but we can certainly make every effort to find a date that most can attend. Please check your calendars and see if Saturday, September 26 in the evening works for you and respond. If it appears to work - we can start another thread announcing a firm date and location. Thanks everyone.

TC, thank you. I was thinking of starting a new thread with the date... so I like your thinking... let's give this a couple of days and then start a new thread.

tC and others, September 26th would be fine for me, and I do like the downtown location. There are lots of good hotels to choose from in the surrounding area.

Moolyn, how very kind of you to offer your place for after dinner coffee.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

September 26 is probably good for me. I can't say for sure without my calendar in front of me but it would be unusual for me to have something booked that far ahead. And I can't imagine we'd be away since school will have started. Ya, probably. And I like the Hot House too.

landineen

The date sounds good for us!

landineen

Katie_H/Fodors went to the LA "asia" GTG! will her BOSS let her join us in Toronto?

kodi

Wouldn't that be great!
Teacher, you've done such a good job here.... I'll leave it to you to start a new thread!!!
Maybe one on the US board too for any Buffalo Fodorites.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Elizabeth_S

TC - that date is fine for us - wouldn't miss it!

SallyCanuck

I barely know what I'm doing tomorrow so it's likely okay for me, too.

I do know what I'm doing on the 24th of this month though - going to London and coming back from Paris!

goddesstogo

That's a pretty big trip for one day, Sally, unless they're both in Ontario!

teacherCanada

goddess - you are a wit!

BAK

Jana and I have marked Saturday, September 26 in our calendars.
