Hope to see you then.

The answers are Yes & YES!
The meeting IS tonight 8/27/08 from 7-8 in the cafeteria (or 1 the small meeting rooms in the cafeteria).

You can always ask the Receptionist just inside the front door, tho last time I asked her she didn't know what AWAKE was
- so use Sleep Apnea as the secret word.

Where is Griffin Hospital? I'm from "East of the River"....outside of Hartford. Couldn't go tonight anyway, plans with grandchildren returning to college next week, but in the future would be interested, depending on how far it is. Of course, I can go Google it , and find out where it is. Just answered my own question. Are the meetings worth while?

Well, I guess if I had read more carefully (duh), I would have seen your first post Gumby, it's in Derby . I'm kind of in a hurry right now, getting ready to go out to dinner. Maybe down the road sometime, I'll see you there.

I guess the weather got to everyone expect for me. I showed up last night and looks like it was postponed. From what I gather I was the only one that showed up. Hope to make it in Feb.
