Hi everybody from the Coordinators!

[TarHeelMom]

This was posted today under the "ANNOUNCEMENT: News re: RT 2009 Agenda" thread, but we thought we'd also post it as a new thread to ensure that you all see it. Hugs!

Hi everyone! We just wanted to stop by to say hi and to assure all of you that your comments and questions about the schedule for RT 2009 are being seen and heard. We haven’t written back to you previously because we just don’t have anything new to share with you at this point.

Even though she’s pulled in a hundred directions every day, Cathe’s a very hands-on “Captain of the RT ship.” She asks that our whole RT team help her stay fully abreast of every issue that arises in the planning process, and that we help her make sure she has every scrap of information pertinent to making decisions about those issues. Then she invests a whole lot of time methodically thinking through every detail of RT matters large and small -- always with her guests in mind. This is, simply, Cathe’s decision-making style, and she plans a RT weekend for us with the same meticulous care that she employs producing the workout DVD’s and other products we all love. That’s why a Cathe Road Trip weekend feels like you’re a guest at a wedding where the bride’s mom has thought of every single thing.

So we promise you that we’ll make certain Cathe has each one of your RT 2009 comments and requests and questions in front of her, and we know from experience that she’ll carefully review and ponder all of them.

For the moment, however, please try to be patient, folks. Cathe’s slammed to the mat right now with some business deadlines. (Really, her schedule is flat-out intimidating — most of us would crumple under the weight of it within days and we have no clue how she does it.) But we know from experience that she will manage somehow to give the RT her laser focus again as quickly as she can.

And cross our hearts, the minute we have more information about RT plans, you’ll hear it from us here on the RT Forum.

Thanks, everybody, and big hugs to you all!

Kathy, Debbie & Lorrayne
Your Cathe RT Coordinators

Kathy, please pass on my sincere thanks to Cathe. And to you and the rest of the coordinators. I'm sure if we knew all the work you all are doing on our behalf, our heads would swim. Thanks from the bottom of my Happy Stepping Feet!

Is the 2009 road trip booked?

Yes, there is a waiting list but I'm not sure how many are already on it.
