I guess I should join the new link.
Local hosta group I belong to was/is planning their post Christmas potluck party today. We were supposed to message the hostess and let them know what we planned to bring. I also asked if they needed any other items like napkins, plates. NO response of any kind to 3 messages. We've decided not to go. It's about a 2 hour drive and we would have booked a motel overnight. But if they can't/won't communicate, we're not attending. I don't know this group very well because, while Ottawa is the biggest city in the region, its activities are centred around Kingston where the majority of the members live. And they often have activities I can't get to.
