Coming back to Iowa!

[jefferios]

Well for only a long weekend, but I want to meet up with you all if possible!?!

I am coming to attend a conference at the end of March. Saturday the 27th will be the best opportunity to get together.

To keep up with the theme. We will meet up where we ended last time...and this time there better not be rain!

Anyway, we can cruise around the downtown district. And get a photograph of our smarts somewhere together. Possibly go and get a ice cream treat at a local parlor if its a mild spring day.
Here is a rough map for the idea I have:

We can meet at Gray's Lake at 1:45pm

Hi Jeff. Mary and I are good to go. Do you have all day on Saturday? Most of the smarts will be working on Friday but could make it Friday night
or Saturday most of the day. Hopfully Larry and Mike will chime in here as to their schedule.
Buzzz 42....still blowing away snowww

I made an event on Smart USA Insider for Saturday afternoon. I was thinking around 1pm or so...we could meet and cruise around. That afternoon I was going to head home.

Iowa's Spring 2010 Rally! - smart USA insider

I'll be there if isn't snowy, blowy or icy.
Hey, Jeff, did you see that we( Central Iowa ) are setting a record for the most consecutive days with more than 5" of snow on the ground? It stands at 71 now. Yea, we're # 1!!!

I updated the first post with the event details, see above if you missed it.

There will be the Natural Living Expo in town that weekend and Smart Center La Vista will be there. La Vista posted on Smart Insider about the event and would love to have us stop in. Its at the Polk County Convention Center, 501 Grand Av.. Christina, new brand specialist, will be there, so come down and meet her.
Buzzz42.....where did all that snow go....

Gray's Lake will be off limits for awhile. Des Moines is getting some flooding in that area. Hopefully it'll be open next week. Right now it doesn't look good though.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!


I cannot edit my first post for some reason. There is a new update!

The new plan is to meet at Walnut Woods State Park. If you are not sure where this is, click on the map link below.

Unknown road to 3802 Ingersoll Ave, Des Moines, IA 50312 - Google Maps

We will meet up at 1:45 and leave at 2pm. The drive will take around 30-40 mins. We will follow Grand Ave in to the downtown district, circle the city hall building then go back and cross the Des Moines River, and finally drive to Bauders (Pharmacy) Ice Cream Parlor.

Cyndy and I will be there.
