(((((((((((((ALL GROWW MEMBERS))))))))))))))))
Save the weekend of September 14, 15, 16, 17, 2006 for a ROUND UP here in Tulsa, Oklahoma!
Char met with a very nice lady today at one of Tulsa's Hotels that is willing to work with me in planning such an event. This will be a HALO-GROWW Event. I have LOTS of work to do yet but can tell you that I am positive everyone would have a GREAT time! Needless to say, I don't have all the money parts of the weekend figured out yet but will email them to any one that is definately interested once I have them set.
Email me: Char@healingafterloss.org to be added to my list and to start giving me an idea of numbers (the more that attend, the cheaper it will be!)
Hope to SEE you in September!!!!

The Hilton is next door to WalMart in case needed, about 2 blocks (give or take a bit) from a Casino, across the street from Oral Robert's University, close to several types of eating places. The Hilton itself also has a restaurant and a bar and an outside pool.
