UpnorthPooh: Just had to add that I was *born* in Gaylord. My step-grandma still lives there (grandpa passed away a year ago) so we visit a few times a year. Boy, has it grown!!

For those of you in the Livonia area, I live in Westland - on the border of Redford and Livonia and according to mapquest it will take me about 2 hours to get to the meet - just a little over 100 miles - so I'm planning to go.

Thanks Lars, there is a lot of us from this area! I heard the last one was a Great Lakes Crossing, I wouldn't have minded the hour drive there at all.

Does anyone know if this is a family thing? Kids invited?

It's at a mall. My DD is planning to come but I'm not sure about the boys. My DH can't go but I have a friend who is a DVC member that was at the GLC one and she & her daughter are goning to come along.

Thanks iluvdisney. I am going to talk to my husband when he gets home and see what we have planned. Would love to meet some DISers and DVCers.

Would LOVE to go to Battle Creek, but another trip just isn't in the plans right now. We are in the final weeks of Drum Corp season and are heading down to Indianapolis this weekend and then to Madison, Wisconsin for finals Aug 10 - 12. I have to return to teaching Aug. 15.

Maybe in the fall, those of us in the Livonia, Redford, Westland, Novi, etc. area could arrange a "mini meet" at Buddy's Pizza or somewhere. I wouldn't mind organizing it as long as it would be on a Friday or Saturday evening!

Would love to have a local meet too Pin.... Maybe we should do it at a bigger place though just in case everyone does want to come? The theme seems to be to meet at malls, maybe this is a good idea since everyone knows where they are and they are usually close to freeways. How about the new food court at 12 Oaks Mall? It is a pretty good size! We could do one the following month, maybe mid Sept. How is Sept 14th for everyone?

Terry,
I like that idea! Sept. 14th would work for us.

Sounds good, Terry!!!!

I just saw that food court yesterday when I was up at 12 Oaks! It has been ahwile since I have been there.

If this turns out to be good for everyone, I will be there!

I would love to meet everyone from our local area! The 12 Oaks Mall is good. I can't come on Sep. 14. Hope everyone has a fun meet. (We will be docking from a seven day cruise that day !! Hope to be home on the 15th.)

 

[Lars624]

Terry thats a great idea!!! I'll be available to go to 12 oaks anytime you guys decide. Let me know! I'm there fairly often anyway.

 

[allforpooh]

Terry,

Count us in, just let me know when. Even though we are farther away about 2hrs we would love to come. We are not able to make the Battle Creek Meet due to the Greenville Danish Festival that weekend, but want to meet other DVCers'.

If I am not on the road, I'll be there - plans are for a trip in September but not exactly sure when.

Hi Michigan Neighbors
I have been lurking for the past few months. We will become DVC members next week!!!! We purchased a resale at OKW. We orginally were going to look for 150-200 points, but after reading all the posts on this board we ended up buying 310!!!!!! Closing wasn't suppose to be until Aug 16, but we got all the paperwork in the mail today, wanting signatures and money by July 30th!!!!!!

We (myself, DH, 3-DD's, DS) are from Macomb Township (that's north of Warren & Sterling Hgts). We would love to get together with other DVC members - will there be more concrete plans regarding the meet at 12 Oaks (that is the mall in Novi isn't it?).

Hi #1 mouse & Congratulations! My family & I just joined this May and are planning our first DVC trip in Feb.
12 oaks is the mall in Novi. It's at 96 & Novi Rd. I would assume you would take 696 to 96 and then you're practically there! Hope to see you there!

 

[Pinnie]

Congrats #1 Mouse and Welcome Home

We bought at BCVs in March and already have gone "home"!

I hope to see you at 12 Oaks.

Have we set a time yet????

I just got back from Mackinaw Island, and after being gone 10 days I can't believe how big this post has got. It is great to see all the DVCers from Michigan. I think the idea of a meet is great at 12 oaks, but the 14th is my 11 year anniversary and we are going away. If there is a change the 15th would work perfect, because we have to pick up our children in Canton, if not I hope you all have a great time and maybe we will see some of you at WDW in late Sept.

I just thought I would add my name to the list of Michigan members.

We are from Shelby Twp. and were at Great Lakes Crossing for the last gathering.
