Save the date and come join in
Come and see the lovely Western Mass area and eat, drink, and talk (Jerry's favorite thing to do). I am posting this early so you can save the date. Hoping to see some of you here. .....

Count me in
Ruthe, my wife Sue and I were in historic Old Deerfield for two days last Aug. I wanted to look you guys up, regret now that I didn't. I went right through Shelburne Falls on my way to Vermont.0 -
You have always been there for me and I look forward to being there for you! Thanks for the invite this sounds like a lot of fun.
Your friend in the industry,

Hmmm, I'll see what i can do. It sure sounds like fun.0 -
great mini vacation area
If you have never been to this part of Massachusetts it makes a great place to visit. Our county has the highest per capita artisan population in the country. Shelburne Falls is known for its famous Bridge of Flowers. We are right on the edge of the Berkshires. Tanglewood is about an hour away. Antique shoppers heaven. What else can I say. It is also a great place to live. ....

sounds good
I'll be there; please instruct on "steamers", shall I bring some or just kick in some cash?

cash
That is what the $15.00 per person covers. Bring anything to drink if you don't want beer. And sometimes people would bring a small dessert or appetizer or whatever. but you can just bring yourself ready to eat, drink and be merry! ....

why Shelburne Falls?

Half in...
Ruthe,
Consider Jaye and I 50% "in." We have some re-arranging to do and it may be me solo. Jaye's mom needs full time care, and July is our month to assume those duties.
Maybe I'll stay home with Mom and let Jaye come?
When pigs can fly...0 -
50 or 100%
either will be welcome. Love to see you again. ... Ruthe0 -
My wife and I are looking into camp grounds in the area. Put us down for 4, will bring the kids, though I'm not sure they should be exposed to such an UGLY group. Of course, they've been around me for 15 or 16 years.0 -
Ruthe, et al
There is a possibility I can make this if two things happen:
1. If I can get a group of contractors together for a roundtable meeting the night before, probably in the Boston area. I'd like to pick the brains of business owners about business issues (before too much alcohol is consumed). The NEWS would pick up the food tab if approved by the boss.
2. If #1 is approved by the boss.
I can probably come in on Friday and head home Saturday night (sobering up on the plane, of course).
If anyone is interested in #1, then #2 might work.0 -
Talk to us John....
What topics ...and what will it take for you to show?
For God's sake...make the next day a day off! Why rush with the folks that are going to be there?
The work can wait a day....The "crux of the biscuit" is to enjoy yourself..Why tempt fate?
Just go for it Bunky...Do what will make Jerry smile down upon us! JMHO....J.C.A.0 -
Friday meeting
NO work would be conducted on Saturday. I propose to meet with some people on Friday night. Maybe we could do it at a hotel near Ruthe's place. I just don't want anyone to incur any added expense if they wanted to come down the night before. But it would be kinda cool.0 -
....
Yeah, I agree.
But I don't agree with your wanting to get back so soon.
Hell, bring the family and... "Make It in Massachusettes" (Thank you Governer Dukakis)
Just enjoy... Chris0 -
brand new Hampton Inn and Suites
is just 11 miles down the road in Greenfield. Bosoton is in another "State" 2-2 1/2 hours east. what type setup are u lookinf for? You could go visit the guy that first imported the Tarm into the US in the next town. Huge college area. several campgrounds around here. We are just 12 miles sount of the Vermont and New Hampshire lines and aboutn 40 miles from New York border just east of Albany. Plus 40 miles north of the Connecticut line. ... Ruthe0 -

Here's the deal
I usually host 4-6 roundtables a year where I sit around a table and ask contractors to talk about key issues facing their businesses, i.e. employee hiring, utlity competition, making a decent profit, etc. I then jot down their thoughts and turn it into an article. If there is time on my visit I like to do a ridealong with a tech on a couple of jobs, too. All of this gets reported in The News. I haven't had a Northeast roundtable so this would be nice. But it is all dependent on whether the boss sees "value" in the trip. If you want to meet and chat for a couple of hours on Friday the 13th, drop me an e-mail offline. Thanks.0 -

Up to four
Any more?0 -
Location?
Where are you considering holding this? I really hope not Boston area since Fri night traffic is a nightmare around Boston. .. Springfield, Greenfield, Ma or Hartford, CT largest areas around western Mass. Hartford not real fun commute on Fri night but for city oriented folk it is probably a piece of cake. ... ..Ruthe0 -
Ideas welcome
I am open to suggestions. Thanks Ruthe.0
