For me, the price of the stock will determine if I go, if under $6, highly unlikely (only the Irish like wakes), if $6 to $8, even money, if $8+ odds are I'll be checking out Danbury! If we're really doing well, Coco and Lynn will head east, heck, they can make their own schedules. And with Bradleysbest and mannmade along, too, we'll represent Southern California well. Trend might be persuaded, too. OK, the night before the meeting, we all meet, party and celebrate (at least celebrate meeting each other). If we are doing well, we make reservations at Bernards and drink champagne - a great French restaurant. If the launch went badly, we can all drown our tears and drink beer at the Goulash Palace.

Agree tbone, the good publicity of 3 lines up & running will prove they can meet supply & demand! Will be nice if they allow shareholders to tour the facility......

Okay, so I go to look up Danbury in terms of exactly where it is and here's the first thing I see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Correctional_Institution,_Danbury Apparently, a women's prison is the hottest thing going in Danbury. Now, I'll bet if Bradleysbest could get us a tour of that facility, we might increase attendance! Although I'd venture to say most of us have never toured a women's prison, we've seen the movies...

C'mon Baba, there's a lot more than that to Danbury... www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-fNHh4faNAUploaded on May 9, 2011 This is the day after Danbury Connecticut Clean up day on May, 8, 2011. This Shantytown has been here for years and has been polluting the Still River. The Still River Clean up day is coming up this week. Maybe they can clean up river for once. Maybe you don't understand that garbage actually flows downstream so why are you always cleaning the same area down stream? I have seen a police officer go down there a few months ago so the City does know. Casper Street is the road where they have the annual Soap Box Derby. Casper Street also has Homes and businesses' with one business being The Mann Kind Corporation. Kind of ironic that a company named Mannkind has a homeless man living right outside the building..not so kind to man after all...
Obviously who ever is living in skid row under the Casper Street Bridge next to the Still River needs help. Looks like Danbury could use a tent city. How about Lee Farm? There are over 2,700 homeless school children in Connecticut, a number that has risen by 35 percent since the recession started. Only about 35 percent of homeless families ever go to a shelter. relying on family and friends for just a place to sleep. So the amount of homeless people is much higher because not everyone is counted correctly. Sadly we all see homeless people from time to time, and not just on TV. But until you see it up close you realize you have to do something. We have the resources. So it's definitely a misuse and abuse of resources that is causing this problem to happen. How do you educate the public about how everyone is responsible for making sure that our resources are being used properly? This is not just about being homeless. People need consoling, drug addiction help, education and job skills. They also need friends and some kind of support group that listens to them and understands their needs and struggles. So you need to properly train enough people to give this kind of help.

I have been to the Danbury area a few times (not the plant). The women's prison is one of the nicer sections of Danbury. Just saying.

I live in Minnesota so it's about a $400 roundtrip airfare to either coast plus accomodations. Next year, don't be surprised if the shareholders meeting is in Minneapolis, though. That is where Medtronics is headquartered, after all. ;-)
...and I have long suspected that spiro's following on the east coast has something to do with an abundance of free-flowing ouzo.

Can we poor mortals who live in lands far away (Hong Kong) have a photograph of all of you together so that we can put a name to a face instead of the cats, dogs, lizards & what not's. When self visits the USA in the future would love to meet up with some of you folks.
