And that's not including a number of us, me included, who are traveling to DC individually. We've got to represent the mitten well! :thumbsup:

I'm flying out on Friday.

2. If undecided..don't think about it, JUST GO!

Due to pre-planned family fun commitments, I have to pass on this trip. But based on a number of past trips--I urge anyone to make the journey. Not only can you make a statement--but you meet so many wonderful people in a common purpose.

Will miss you livvy and SharonRB!

3. Sorry you won't be joining us this time

We'll miss you -- and your shirt!

4. Hey, Stranger! Good to hear from you.

We'll miss you, too! Maybe one of us could wear a sign for you...
tokenlib, here in spirit!
