I wanted to add I hope you and Steve do come---I would love to meet you both!!!!!
We are looking into coming to the conference and ball. Steve also wants to go to FL and out west this summer. So we will see what our vacation plans are.
Barb, I will look and see if I can find a dress for you. You should come down for a weekend and we can shop :). I need to go to the mall and see if that one dress is still there and try it on. I keep telling myself to do some sit ups but I keep sitting on my butt thinking it will go away on its own LOL.
Lynne, that is awesome news for Baer and the fruits and veggies!
Tara
Is everyone buying new dresses? What about doing a wedding dress exchange? I think that I would have to drop 20 pounds to fit in mine! Steve and I are still discussing the details about our summer vacation. I really hoping that we can make it to the conf. and angel ball.
Ok, finally the Angel Ball site is up and you can purchase tickets! This is at the $50 price, still need to talk to the committee about a discount for members.

I am buying new Amy. My wedding dress was just a short ivory colored dress, nothing spectacular (Jeff was my second husband-first one was a dud LOL- and we didn't want the whole big fancy thing) so I don't really have a special dress. I may have my first wedding dress somewhere but I would have to some serious surgery to get into that one! :)
Tara
I'm buying new too. I'm divorced and already gave that dress away (my niece fell in love with it and since I had no daughters and her mom never married, just seems right she has it). Plus, that dress was huge... 1991, big hair, big dresses. lol.
I will probably wait until June to buy my dress... I want to lose weight and I have no idea what type of dress I'm looking for. I don't want to wait until July... I have a fear that it will be the week before the Ball and I still won't have a dress.
Dawn, you say a discount for members, but isn't it only for members?
Tara
The discount is only for CHERUBS members (for example, my family is paying full price, so am I because I'm not staying at the hotel). And only if they book their hotel room by April 30th.
The Angel Ball is open to the public, anyone who buys a ticket can come - most of the Angel Ball tickets will be sold to the public.
BUT we reserve the rights to not sell ball tickets or golf tournament registrations to those banned from CHERUBS (as noted on the site) to avoid any drama queen crashers.
We'll actually be advertising all over the place to sell tickets to the public.

Dawn, I emailed the Angel Ball site to a couple of friends. One works for Schwan's (do you have those down there?) To see about sponsors. I'll let you know what I hear or will direct questions to you.
Tara
Great! Thanks, Tara! Yes, we have Schwans here and I actually know someone who worked for Schwans up there (has since moved here).
Sounds great that it is open to the public. I will spread the word and see if my friends want to go to the ball!
Tara we might just have to go shopping!! It has been way way way too long since we have got together!! But will Jeff make that funny beeping sound at me again? I would rather have the "chipmunk Cheeks" instead! LOLOLOL
Oh man, I want to go shopping with you guys!!! Darn Airbus folded before I use it to fly up there! lol.
Forgot to say that the Golf Tournament is open to the public too!
The only events that ever members only are our conferences and get-togethers (including member picnics, etc). Fundraisers and awareness events are open to the public.
Darn Airbus!! Geez! Keep your fingers crossed that Airtran does not follow.......this is my worst nightmare right now.....Airtran folds on April 25th.......lol....we fly with them on the 26th!
Oh no, that would be horrible, Barb! Saying a prayer!
ok, not about the angel ball dress, BUT are the Tshirts conference T shirts ... can we get a BOY on them, or are they all going to be girls? just wondering/hoping I can .. Any help please !
I am getting ready to order as I LOVE tee's but really wanted boy.
thanks you guys
Penny if you go to our cafepress store you will see all the different CHERUBS t-shirts.....you can get ones that have the boy cherubs as the logo. Let me know if you need help finding them.
The weather has been inspiring and beautiful this week so each day the boys and I have been going walking. Woo hoo - I've lost 6 pounds of the winter weight I packed on.
Good for you Kara! I have walked the dogs a couple of times but I am stuck at my weight!
Yes Barb and Dawn come shopping.
Dawn we had Skybus tickets for June to Philly. Thankfully our credit card company reimbursed us. We just bought them four days before they went under. You think they could have had the website down or something since they KNEW they were going under!
Tara
Oh Tara that is awful!! So glad that you got it taken care of! 4 days?! OMG!! Your right you would think that they knew and would not have been taking reservations.....
I found a dress! Yeah!! It should be here this week. I hope.....if not then Shane will get it while I am gone and that could be bad. I had found another one and when I got it I did not like it....I asked him what he thought and his only comment was "BURN IT!" YIKES!! LOL I really really hope that that brat likes this one if he gets it in while I am gone!
Did you go back and see if they had the one that u liked Tara?
I'm soooo bummed!!!! We are just not going to be able to make it. I was trying not to get my hopes up once they predicted the gas prices. and yep. there is just no way we can make it from oklahoma to NC at 3.50 a gallon. Have fun for us. And i was even going to get to wear MY DRESS!!! i'm so jealous of all you getting a night out in your evening gowns.
Carrie-you will be missed!
I have to find a dress!!!!
We should all make a week-end out of it and go somewhere and look together!!!!
I am so proud of all of you finding dresses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ahve not even looked yet for a dress. If I don't loose some weight, I can just wear a tarp!
Bedsheet Lynne! Egyptian cotton white bedsheet is much classier than a tarp and quieter!
OMG Kara you crack me up. Are you guys driving or flying Kara?
Carrie I am sorry you aren't going to make it. I looked at airline tickets today and it is pricey so I need to talk to DH about what we are going to do.
Ok I just got back from the mall and I don't know what to get. I saw about four dresses I liked that were reasonably priced. I just don't know if I want to go pouffy crenlin (sp?) style or a more elegant straight. I didn't try anything on yet. I really, really liked this one that was sleeveless, white and had burgandy "things" on the bodice. It was the pouffy style. I am 40 yrs old so I don't want to look like a high school wanna be if you know what I mean. I had the youngest girl I baby sit with me and she kept showing me these bright pink, lavendar dresses and this canary yellow one. Good grief I would have looked like a mini big bird in it. :)
Tara
Oh Carrie, we will definitely miss you!!! :(
I know gas is high and it's going to be tough for a lot of people. Just a thought... train rides are about the same prices as plane tickets. Carpooling too would make things easier if some of you live near each other.
Dresses... at this point, the sheet isn't sounding so bad!
Oh Carrie, I wish you could make it! Gas is really ridiculous, it costs a small fortune to drive anywhere now!
Ok, well I have been saying I am going to loose weight, but its 10 weeks postpartum and I haven't lost barely anything!! Grrrr.... Ok I vote to turn this in a toga party, lol, I'll come dressed in a sheet too! I am so afraid of dress shopping!
I don't even know what size I wear now? Lg, xl or Oh my god it's coming toward us!
Wait a minute - large masses parading in bedsheets. Think about that one. It takes me right back to my original statement that we're going to look like marshmallows floating across the dance floor.
Tara - I can't see you in puffy. Excuse the bluntness, but you're somewhat vertically challenged and you should probably avoid the puff.
Tara, again - we are actually driving. We're leaving July 20 and driving into Myrtle Beach for 3 nights of beach fun! From there we'll head back up to Raleigh on the 24th for the CHERUBS events.
I have never been to a Toga party! I vote for bedsheets! I haven't even started to look for a dress yet. I was hoping some prom dresses would go on sale soon!
Gas just went up 30 cents here today! YIKES. We are driving to NC from MI. We have a small car but may be able to carpool if someone needs to.
Stay puff marshmallow man comes to mind.
Kara, I see you are going to Myrtle Beach first or as we southerners call it "the Redneck Riviera". There are shopping outlets galore! You can see live alligators, take in medievel show or a celeb look alike show.
Me vertically challenged? LOL Nah. I don't think I'll keep heels on all night long either :) Good point though Kara. I'll have Jeff go with me hopefully this weekend and we'll do some looking. Olivia was not into it today.
I have never been to a toga party either. Watch out Dawn a new idea has formed.
Amy, gas prices stink right now. Jeff is in Las Vegas so I am hoping he wins big so he can pay for the trip. Won't happen though. We are in Ohio so will pretty much be driving the same route.
Kara you guys will have fun in Myrtle first. That's a good idea.
Tara
I am a redneck or didn't you notice by all the "ya'll" that I use. Actually, I was born in West Virginia and lived there till I was 6. Then moved to Northeast Ohio which happens to be the melting pot of rednecks. My sister remained in West Virginia till about 8 years ago then moved to Raleigh. I have to sometimes work hard to be not so hick in language. I really have some hillbilly expressions that I use a lot and people look at me like "what the heck". For instance - when it rains I say "it's wettin down out". I can't just be hungry - I'm usually as hungry as a lil ole bug in a tator patch and when I'm sad I'm in the mulligers. I should fit right in to Myrtle Beach. We went there once before and noticed there were an awful lot of goober looking folk. Hopefully we won't run into that this time. We're staying at Marriott Oceanwatch Grande Dunes (vacation club).
can't promise about the goober folks. They will probably be there again. Can we wear off white or ivory to the Angel Ball?
I know Dawn said we could wear gold or silver to the Angel Ball.
It does not have to be white.
I would think off white or ivory would work.
Right?
