Michael B Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Believe it or not we are planning the 2013 Florida Mini already. Calvin Slater is hosting this event in Celebration, near Disney and Orlando. Saturday, March 23rd is the date. Mark your calendars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 When I get a 2013 calendar I'll do that. Celebration as far as I can recall is somewhere near Kissimmee, so that shouldn't be too bad a distance, even though I'm on the opposite side of Orlando from Kissimmee.

LOR Staff Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'm not saying that any particular LOR person is going to be there.... The last time someone said he was going to go to one of these things, he ended up in his DR office with a 103 degree fever feeling like... well... death. ... and lets not talk about all the travel arrangements he made, and the deposits he lost on the room and a car.....

Orville Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 No guarantees on anything. Things do happen that prevent folks from getting to an event. I know I've missed quite a few things I had planned on going to, but couldn't because of health or other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that trying to move dates so some can make it often causes others to miss. JerryMac is going to discuss RGB. He was at the last Mini in Jacksonville. He is very knowledgeable. We'll see what we can do about having some there so you can see it. We did last year. I'm working on getting some other people to share, too. Let me know if you can make it. I hope to see you there.

LOR Staff Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Yes, please DON'T move a date just for me. Changing dates like that gets into a vicious circle of 'well, now so-in-so can't make it'. The next thing you know the planners are frazzled and no one is happy. The date is the date, and I'm sorry I won't be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
