Comment by Tom Cahill on November 5, 2009 at 9:43pm: Hey Alan,

That is a great attitude! I can't speak for everyone but Sundays are bad for me. Sicne the Darling Home would prefer to do it on Saturday December 5th that is the day I am going to do it. That being said, this doesn't have to be done as a group. If I am the only one who can do it on the 5th then I will do it alone. I would encourage others to do the same, or maybe we end up with smaller groups doing it on days that work better for them? In the end If we all do this for one person then it will be successful. Maybe next year we will end up with a larger group on a day that works for everyone?

Comment by Alan Nielsen on November 5, 2009 at 8:42pm: Hi Tom, if we can do a Sunday great, if not I will do everything I can to participate. I really want to take part in this. I really think it's a great thing. What about moving it to the last weekend in November?

Comment by Tom Cahill on November 3, 2009 at 10:42pm: Thanks Alan. I don't know that Sunday will work for other people as this was always going to happen on a Saturday. We will keep everyone in the loop though. Since you are the first person to reply to any of the messages, perhaps Sunday is actually better for everyone else too? I don't know?? :)

Comment by Alan Nielsen on November 3, 2009 at 10:17pm: Both the 5th and 12th are not good for me, but the 6th and13th are. They are the Sundays instead of the Saturdays.

Comment by Savanna Cahill on November 3, 2009 at 11:08am: Just a tidbit on the Darling Home for kids...it is a hospice/respite home for children with debilitating disease/terminal illness. 95% of these children are in wheelchairs. It will be a huge gift to these families, as it would be almost impossible for many of them to have a family portrait done. We were also thinking it would be fun to bring some dress up props (hats,boas) for the kids to have a fun photo too. (fyi...I am Tom's wife).

Comment by Tom Cahill on November 3, 2009 at 10:31am: I am going to send out another message to the group but I wanted to post here as well. I went to the Darling Home for Kids yesterday and they are totally on board with the idea. The wanted to know if we could do it on the 5th instead of the 12th so that the families had time to use the pictures for Christmas cards. Is everyone okay with that?
