Hi Here is Maggie64

Yorkdale is the place where we meet so I wonder if I get off from Yorkdale subway do I have to take the bus or walk long way to the restaurant? or it is there outside the subway station?

I don't know yet if I am making that trip because of my daughter's baby will be born on August 25th I cant promise you if I make or not.   As you know that she wants me in her room when the baby is born.  If baby is born earlier then I will be there.  Wait and see.  Anybody of you know how to sign language? because I am deaf.. (American or British signs I was at deaf school in Dundee then left for new life in Canada when I was wee lassie,  so I know both sign languages but I am more expert with American signs) If nobody know how to sign.. then I will ask my good friend to come with me to join you for the chats at restaurant.

any questions just feel free to ask me .  thanks Maggie

HI Maggie,

I'm not sure what happens once you get off the subway, but I'm sure someone from Toronto who travels the subway will be able to help you.

I only know the alphabet, please & thank you and the birthday song in ASL, but please feel free to bring your friend with you if you'd like.

Hellooo kids!!
Looks like this thread has a life of its own!! I think I can make either date work. I'll be either coming from or going to Muskoka too! I have not conferred with the powers that be but I'll assume that I am the powers that be and do it anyway??!!
will be nice to meet a few more of us.

Hi Josephine,

You can be the one wearing the funny hat, I'll be the fuddy duddy looking one in the crowd. lolol

In seriousness, last year a table was booked and the waitress took us where the other RCers were. Quite good that way. That can be done again this year, so no need to be concerned :-)

Looking forward to meeting you and the others. Take care til then.

JDC

Hi, JDC:

It's a date, then!   :D

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, too.

Regards,
Josephine
