Who attended?

    •  I had a wonderful time getting to know people and spending time relaxing! 
    • Ayn
       Meredith, I will forever be impressed with the way this was organized. I had a great time. The people were wonderful, the ideas fantastic, and the beach house and food unbelievable. This will go down in my personal history as one of the most memorable social experiences I've my life. Seriously, incredible job. I hope that there will be more of these to attend in the future. 
    • Meredith (+3 guests)
       Everyone was such an amazing help all weekend and it wouldn't of been a success with out you all!! I learned alot from this first one and hopefully the second one will be a lot easier now that I know what to do and what not to do! I hope we make this an annual thing! it is a blast to meet and get to know all of you this weekend! 
    •  There is a problem with Meetup.com. They only allow you to give a five star rating for events. There needs to be a different scale - one for events that Meredith is involved with. I give this a 10 star rating. There was so much work involved with planning this event, and everyone pitched in and helped with the meal planning and cleanup. Everything went smoothly, and it was great to have time to get to know people better. Spontaneous conversations happened all over the house all weekend long, and I learned a lot from hearing others points of view. One of the best times I've ever had at any meetup event! Thanks, Mere!!!! 
    •  Mere did a great job! The house was great and I learned so much! 
    •  I had an awesome time, I can't believe it is over already. Looking forward to the next! 
    •  Had a great time. Especially the three-man game. I didn't do too well at poker though. If anyone wants more information about the device that I brought out on Saturday night - here are a few links about it. Or you can google search "audi-oh".
