I had a quick thought of planning vacation in January to your area just for an excuse to see you in person, but thanks to GRS I'm focused on my financial goals now and won't be distracted. If you and Kris ever come to the New York area, you would be most welcome guests. Very jealous of folks who live near you.

I'd drive up from SF for the meetup!

I was out of town, otherwise I certainly would have attended! I was about to suggest a library conference room as well. I guess, ideally, a place where we can bring food potluck-style to share? (That rules out the library!) @3 Michelle - I love my reusable grocery sack! It's handy in every situation, has a beautiful pattern on it, and just about every store gives a 5-cent/10 cent discount. Not to mention it folds up very neatly and lives next to my cell phone in my purse (yep, it's that small). And on the rare occasion that I engage in some retail excitement, it's fun to go to 2 or 3 stores and not have to deal with any wasteful, extraneous bags. Congrats on your speech.

Location for GRS-meet - I agree with Lucky Lab but may not be the most frugal choice. Library conference rooms are generally the best option. Others are YMCA, Community Recreation Centers, and other publicly-owned buildings. Unfortunately, the options are limited in the winter. In the summer, there are some really good options - like your home :-) Anyway, it depends on the format you want. Is it "get to know you over appetizers" or "support group style where you talk then everybody doing the finance chat"? The first one is more Lucky Lab style, the other more library style. ‘Sorry I missed the talk but will plan on being at the GRS-meet.

Thank you so much for sharing your advice and your family's stories. And, might I add, it was a very budget-friendly way to spend an afternoon. Y'know, minus the fact that I walked through the farmer's market on my way over buying something from every other bakery booth. J.D. - I thought the presentation was great!

Might I suggest the Lucky Lab as a good place to get a group of people together? The ones on NW Quimby and on Hawthorne are the best for that purpose. They're kid friendly, provide all sorts of munchies and beverages, and have the capacity to seat relatively substantial groups of people. It seems any time I have a 'team' meeting of any sort -- running, softball, etc -- it ends up at the Lab :) had to work today so I missed your talk!

Frankly, I'd rather get a gift card to just about anywhere than a reuseable grocery sack. I hope I don’t get a reuseable grocery sack for Christmas instead of a cool gift card for Barnes and Noble!

She had some great suggestions for energy-saving gifts. My friends and I are always trying to find unique ways to save energy and the environment, so this should come in really handy. Thanks!
