Vancouver and area meetings

[Junerose]

Can't let thread die.

Anyone ever been to Fort Langley? Like the attraction not the city?

You mean this place?

Then yes, I have been there. I think little kids would like it as there are a lot of interactive activities that they can do.

Thanks Junerose.

Trying to find some things to do this summer that are different.

Thanks Junerose.

You are welcome! The town of Fort Langley is a nice place to go to, too. Take your kids to the Bedford House restaurant for some yummy apple tartes. It's situated right along the river, so there is a lot to see.

I was in Oakridge mall a few days ago and took a good long look at the food court and kid's play area situation. Oakridge was the scheduled place for our next meeting (Sunday June 27). As can be seen on the mall map, the kid's play area is well away from the food court. The kid's play area is near the top of the pic of the map.

It's a great little kid's pit but, as you can see in the third pic, there are no tables nearby for us to spread out on.

In the second pic you see the food court. It's huge and has lots of different size tables and alcoves. But it's nowhere near the kid's area.

Just so y'all know.

Hey if anyone goes to used book stores can they please keep a look out for
CASCA: The cursed. Book #18. I can find it online but can't justify spending so much.

I would be eternally grateful. Thanks.

I guess we'll stick to the food court and later parents can bring their kids to the play area to release some energy.

Woo, was at Walmart today, and a lady who does marketing stuff was in today with her tonnes of coupons. She gave me one for $5 off Shick razors, and then said oh, you have a little one, and handed me a playtex book with a bunch of coupons. I said, "oh, the girls will love this when we meet up on sunday" She looks at me and says "your one of those coupon ladies, I LOVE YOU GUYS!" and handed me 5 more books to bring to the meeting!

[mcminsen]

I love it! A human coupon magnet!

[momofkali]

Yeah! Somebody loves us!

Smartcanucks meeting and coupon swap. Food court at Oakridge Shopping Mall, Vancouver. Cambie @ 41st Ave.
Sunday, June 27th @ 2:00 PM.

Whew. My coupons are organized now for the meeting. Don't forget to look for the pickle (me) in the white hat and/or the people at the tables with a million coupons spread out in front of them.

Either before or after have a quick spin through the Safeway at Oakridge as the are usually pretty good at having the Smartsource coupons. Just a heads up... the only coupon that I think is disappearing fast is the Lactantia milk coupon. Also the GenTeal eye drops coupon I've only found in one place, the SDM at Commercial and Broadway.

Oh, and the Zellers at Oakridge will have a few of the coupons, too. See ya later!

[mcminsen]

Okay, I'm just throwing this out there in case somebody can help. I'm trying to help a friend fulfill somebody's wish list, and it's not an easy one. Does anyone have any of these coupons available for trade?

Ya, me too. Thanks anyway. If I were making up a wish list for myself, I would throw in a few things that are easier to find regardless of how much I needed or wanted them.

I'll check my stash since I have it all at my workplace on Monday.

Great to see you all again today. Nice to meet you Twinklebell and the other newest arrival. When you join send me a pm so I know it's you.

There were 5 of us at the meeting today and it actually went well. Children were well behaved (mine were in the play centre with mom) so it was a headache free meeting for me.

Missed seeing both of you momofkali and enjae. You guys are coming to the next meeting right and hopefully our numbers will go up then
