Michigan Meet-Up!!! (Maybe!!)

Well, I for one am interested in doing a Michigan Meet-up now that the weather is nice(er). And as we Michiganders know nice weather may not last long. So... How many of us are out there? I found 22 from Michigan but some may not be here any more and some may be too far away, so where is everone in Michigan from?

I'm near Grand Rapids.

Once we find out where people are from we can discuss a possible meet up!!!

Also what about possible Canadian members near the MI border!!!??

Where have all my michiganders gone???

Hi
I'm in Warren. I have a male neutered cat named Simba and my 'baby girl' Kassie, recently spayed during her c-section 2 wks ago. Kassie has 2 kittens that we are unsure of the sex as of yet that we named Squeaky because that's all she did after she was born and the one that we had to feed with the dropper for the first day we named Lil Guy. As I said...not quite sure of the sexes yet, so I hope Lil Guy is a guy!

Aside from Kassie making me a new grandma for the first time, my daughter also made me a grandma exactly one wk after Kassie's babies were born. My granddaughter was born on May 4th, 2006 @ 4:34pm weighing in at 7lbs 9ozs and 20 in long. She came on my birthday!! So we get to share our birthday...what a gift!!!

I honestly don't know if I'd be able to do a meet-up, but will keep an eye out for if anything that gets in the planning. If my family schedule can allow it then it may be possible.

Take care;
a fellow Michigander

Hello Dere' SillyJill,

I am another of those 'ganders ....

I'm in Jackson and my location is 30 miles west of Ann Arbor and 30 miles south of Lansing.
I've always been one not to travel far from home and these gas prices are really encouraging me to stay put.

I'd say that depending on where and when, I might be able to show up if a meet ever happened.

I don't get to The Cat Site every day, but if you ever want to reach me, you can send email from my web site. The link to it is in my signature.

BTW.... right now I'm not too sure winter is really over the way the weather is going.

I am near Grand Rapids and I would be interested in a TCS Meet Up!!

I live in Allegan, somewhere between Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Holland. Looks like we all live relatively near by, haven't seen anyone from up north yet.

PM me when you know where it's going to be, I only live 3 or so hours from the border (closer to Port Huron). I might be able to go

Hey Michiganders!

Wow, I guess I'm on the wrong side of the state I'm in the Detroit Suburbs.

Depending on when and where I'd be interested. Maybe we could do a halfway point such as Lansing or even Jackson/Battle Creek.

Another Easterner, here -- Dexter, which is just west of Ann Arbor.

My three cats are Pumpkin (oldest, but newest, just got her one week ago. She's 6-8, 12 lbs and the proverbial curious cat Trick (one of two semi-ferals, the braver of the two at a mere 6 lbs) and Treat (the semi-feral sister weighing in at 8 lbs and the coward of the lot, but the lovingest, if she'd just get over her fear!) The sisters are just 2.5 years old. And, due to their lack of socialization, a real challenge.

My travel schedule is limited by my husband's extensive travel for business, but depending on time and location, I'm always up for new friends!

Great idea, Jilly!

I'm from around South Haven Area, work near Holland, and have a place up near Fremont as well. If the time and place is right I would be interested.

Yea another East Coast person!

Just keeping this thread on the first page for any more TCSer's from Michigan.

I agree that meeting somewhere near Lansing would probably work best, seeing how it is in the middle of the state. Maybe some people could even carpool.

So Jilly........you want to be the one to try to organize this? I would love to help any way I can!!!

You got me!!! Posted before me!

Well, there you guys are!!!

Maybe we could set up two meet-ups, one for the West Michigan side and one for the East Michigan Deroit side. Then maybe Miss Mew could make one too! Then maybe most of the Michigan members would be able to do it! What do you guys think?

Let me add more in the next post!

OK... I have talked to Hubby and he knows that he HAS to go with me if we do it in Lansing as I am a big scaredy cat when is comes to driving far by myself and I hate diving in bigger cities. (too many people!) So he gets to drive!

Show of hands who would like it to be in Lansing and would come if date and time permit!!!



Then we need suggestions of what to do, and dates that won't work for people so we can work around that!

My hubby's annual vacation is from about 6/27 - 7/8, and the first weekend, we are in Charlotte (for the annual bluegrass festival) then over to Burton, sometimes we spend a few days around the fourth, up north, past Saginaw. But hopefully, I could get the rental car from my hubby & meet up. Pretty much anywhere should work, since I'm from CA, and a 5-8 hour drive is the norm for me, no matter where I go - whether to San Diego, Sacramento, Las Vegas, etc. It does sound like fun! And if Ontario, Canada would be better .....

Cool!

I'm up for a Lansing meetup! I know right now that I won't be in town June 9-11. My first real vacation (meaning taking off from work AND traveling) in two years!!!

I should start finding out who's in the Windsor, Canada area too. I'm only 15 minutes from the border.

If the time and date is right, maybe you could catch a ride with me seeing as I will be going past you. I don't know the Lansing area too well but I do travel to Detroit quite often. I am on vacation July1-9 and will have to check with bf when a date is suggested to make sure there is no work on the farm.

I'm open for ANY Sundays and can finagle most any Saturday to be free.

What are peoples thought on July 7th? That would coincide with crittergirl & or CA friend catsknowme. Is it too close to July 4th for people?

I up for nearly any time or date if it's in Lansing, as long as I remember when the time is settled.
Shoot, my daughter called on Mothers Day and planned to take me to dinner yesterday. Of course I forgot all about in in one days' time. She called and I said "Uh Oh".

Of course it would be me and my mate because I have no sense of direction and don't drive long distance anymore.
I can say that none of my furballs would be making the trip. They are bigger home-bodies than I am.

I do have notifications coming on this thread so I can keep up with what's going on so that should help the old memory.

I may not be able to do the Lansing thing on July 7 as I will probably be up in Fremont. That is a haul to Lansing, plus I may have guests up there that weekend.
