Hey Ladies,

Thanks sooo much for your responses. The idea of sending out the questionnaire is to gather as much information required to narrow down options and plan a meet that will suit everyone's needs.

So, pleaseee take one more minute and fill out this one too...

1. Would you prefer this meet to be (a) Just the Ladies (b) Ladies with Kids only (c) Ladies with family including Spouse and Kid(s)

2. Would you prefer a morning meet or an evening meet..

3. Would you prefer a MALL / CAFE / PARK

4. Additional Information :

Thanks soooo much for your patience and cooperation!

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Hey Kalyani,

Why this long silence? Please let us know your thoughts!

Cheers!
Sylvia

Dear friends,
My suggestion would be to welcome our family (DH+kids) to join us in the park. We could buy some snacks and meet around 4:30 and wind up by 8PM.
We will have more room and the DH may be willing to join us then!!
Regards
USHA

hi,
the idea to bring along the family is a good one.. if its a park then evening would be a better time to meet. i hope to bring my DH and daughter along..

Hi Sylvia

The ground work is goin well yaar.............. with proper planning......... question paper/answer sheet / opinion polls etc. etc. good....... good.

Now with regard to the second questionnaire , I am not sure that how many of our ladies have driving licence and car............... if they don't, they will have to be dropped by DH, so better let them also enjoy the outing and the evening with the company of their family if they are not pre-occupied.

So the answer to the questions will be

1. Would you prefer this meet to be (a) Just the Ladies (b) Ladies with Kids only (c) Ladies with family including Spouse and Kid(s)

2. Would you prefer a morning meet or an evening meet..

3. Would you prefer a MALL / CAFE / PARK

4. Additional Information : We may bring some snacks probably from IL-CHIVISH recipe with some starters, exchange pleasantries, play and have fun, taste the food and wind up. Time can be 6 to 8 00 PM preferable choice is Zabeel Park due to its proximity. Of course open to others' views.

5. Dress Code : if Any......... Can we all make it in blue?????????

Best Regards
Shanti
