I think that we should start a 2nd FE group. I know there are going to be more families that join in later. It happens every time. This is the earliest close date I have ever had on one of our cruises. I think 6 weeks before is just too early. I realize the date was set but I think that starting another group will not exclude those who join in the next few weeks.
So for FE group #2 people in group one can chose to participate or not. We will participate in both groups. Which means that our family will give to both groups 1 & 2. We then will receive from groups 1 & 2.
I know some of your already ordered your stuff for the FE. Depending on the size of group 2 you may be able to join in that group too. We have joined late before (5 days before a sailing once) and were always welcomed into the group. I feel awful for those who are joining later and would love to be able to include them.
I will start an area on the spreadsheet for group #2. So if anyone else from group 1 wants to join in on the 2nd group add your name there.

If anyone who is new needs the link to the spreadsheet please send me a pm.
So at this point group 1 is closed and group 2 is open. jptowns please pm for a link to the spreadsheet and add yourselfs there. I will not be keeping another master list for group 2...we will just use the spreadsheet to keep track. Thanks!
