Just a quick summary of the meeting held last night. We had a good turnout of 10 people online with others joining in as we went along. The web site held up well although some people had challenges using this kind of chat format and some had internet connection issues. All in all, things went smoothly and the debate was good and lively. We have decided more research was needed to get the kind of place we would all be happy with.
A proposal was brought out to have a meet and greet cocktails and snacks function from 4pm-6pm before the banquet. If you were headed to the banquet at 6, you could either walk to the banquet or drive from there whatever the preference. This was voted in and as of now Barbara is researching pricing for Sophies and The Pleasant for this. Another choice to be considered was the Imperial Dragon. Brickers was given a glancing nod and rejected as not quite the place for this..
We are going to have a table at the banquet with at least 20+ committed. If anyone else is interested, please let Charlene know.
For after Banquet activity, we have several choices. The Imperial, and a couple of more recent additions, the VFW in Charlestown and Casa De Sol in Ascutney (The old Top Hat). We are still waiting for numbers on the Casa. The VFW quoted $300 for rental and cleanup and they provide all tables and chairs. The Imperial emerged as another option for this time slot as well.
I was requested to put up a survey on the class blog so everyone can pick where they would like to go from 4-6 and for after the banquet. This will give us an idea what we need to focus on. I will let you all know when I have done this. Definitely within the next day or so.
Lastly the trailer for the float is all set and we will also have a driver who be charging us. Thank you! We will not put Melissa in the cab after all!
Phil will be getting together with John Irish in the near future to go over the pinball machine plans and sharing with all of you what they come up with and looking for input from all of you.
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to send Charlene or Phil an email.
