Folks - even if you are embarrased by the disastrous events, your silence shows you have NO REGARD for your members. You are a sameful and deceitful organization that should be embarassed by your unprofessionalism!!!

I finally got it! Barnum once said "There is a sucker born every minute". For family week there was a tent full of suckers - us! Gregg, Kelli and Jennifer were sitting in the back laughing at all the suckers who just paid $30.00 for a cold corn dog! Family Pride you are amazing --- Yes you proved Barnum correct - there is a sucker born every minute!

Would you expect anything less from Rosie O'Donnell? She is a selfish pig who starts fights with anyone she meets. Not a hero or a role model, just a fat girl with a chip on her shoulder who wants to make money off the gays - they are the last group supporting her and her crazy ass behavior. Family Pride — R Family Vacations - RIP OFFS!!!

I have also contacted both R Family and Family Pride and have heard nothing. They want to sweep this one under the table, take our money and run. Family Week events were a shame. They were expensive and had nothing. At first I thought it was just bad planning with R Family, now I think R Family and Family Pride are laughing their way to the bank. They don,t care about gay families. They want to pad their pockets and run. I know plan on writing the local paper here in Chicago and let them know how we were ripped off. No more money from our family for Family Pride or R Family! Villanova I completely agree with you. I have also contacted both R Family and Family Pride and have heard nothing.

I have also written several emails to both organizations and have not heard a word from either group after four weeks. I suggest that we, as gay consumers, bring this to the attention of the gay media in order to be taken seriously and be given the apology and refunds we deserve?? My partner and I refuse to attend any 2008-on Family Week events R Family sponsors. The whole affair has left me feeling very suspicious of both organizations This saddens me as prior to this summer I had complete admiration for both groups. If we cannot trust and depend on our own communtiy organizations, who can we truly trust?? Shame on Family Pride and R Family for your lack of responsibility!!!

So much went wrong and so many voices have spoken out, yet the folks at Family Pride and R Family are showing arrogance by pretending nothing went wrong. It's just a "sweep it under the carpet" method of dealing with the problems. They think in one year people will forget and then they can rip us off all over again! Shame on Family Pride and R Family. I would have expected more from both groups! I have to say I am really shocked Family Pride or R Family has not responded to any comments on the great 2007 Family Week debacle!

I just assumed all would have a nice meal and some type of entertainment for the price that was charged. I was really shocked when the food were things like corn dogs or in one case food that was gone in five minutes. The entertainment factor just didn't exsist at all. My expierence was similar when I tried to talk to Greg and Kelly at the event, I was given the brush off and told to write a letter. Well it's been three weeks and nobody from R Family has given me the time of day! Why should they? They have my money! We love family week and we will be back in 2008. I hope Family Pride makes a business decsion and cuts it's ties with R Family. Our family for one will not buy another product from them! Family Pride and Colage, please keep up the good work. We love you! We just didn't feel we were treated fairly by R Family and honestly their attitude sucks! I agree, we spent a lot of money at 3 events - Broadway Brunch, Circus and Hawaiian night.

What we ended up with was food that was cold, gross and the kids wouldn't even eat it. A few people dressed up handing put chips does not constitute as a circus to me. I know that there are many families also upset by this, and we were encouraged to e-mail Gregg, well I did and he doesn't seem to care, not a thing back from him, and that was about 2 weeks ago. I am very disapointed by rfamily's involvement with Family week, and I will never spend another penny on anything of theirs.
