Summary Feb 17th Meeting

Summary of meeting Feb 17th

We had 7 people attend tonight's meeting, thanks to all for your participation and a lively conversation!

The 3 venues are all set price wise. It appears we will have space set aside for us in each place.

4pm -6pm The Pleasant I understand from Barb will come in at around $7.00 dollars a person (Includes pre-dinner snacks)

6:30pm-8:30pm Banquet at the high school will come in at around $22.00 a person. Includes full course meal and dessert.

9:00pm-12:30am at the Casa De Sol will come in at $13.00 a person (includes Vt tax, gratuity and plenty of snacks-space fee was waived)

So we are looking at around $84.00 a couple if they wish to attend all 3 functions. It is possible this figure might change slightly between now and May, but I think we are pretty much in the ballpark. Nevertheless, still pretty good deal.

Cash bar will be available at the Pleasant and the Casa De Sol

Melissa will make up some nice posters to welcome our classmates at each venue, and someone will hopefully get ahold of some black and red balloons to include as well. We will probably also need someone to staff the entrances and hand out the visitor tags and register people as they arrive. This can be planned out in May.

The float was discussed and a drawing of the float is now available and will be included in this email as some people apparently did not receive it. I will also post the picture of the drawing on the class blog as well.

Melissa will take care of the following props for the float, drumset, guitars and desks. John will provide all sound and a barrel for the beans, plus all staging setup. Also a job well done on the drawing of the float. Anita is looking into ordering Silver Myler for the Ann Margaret mirror prop, Thank you greatly to all three of you for your help here.

We are going to be looking for the Ann Margaret ;-) Anyone dare to invite her??? Garth???????? how about those LA connections of yours! If not we have a possible plan "B" Ann Margaret...;-)

Lastly but not least, we all agreed we need to watch the movie "Tommy" next week to get a better idea what we are representing in our float! Some of us haven't seen it in a long time and some not at all. We should all try to at least watch it if we can.

Next meeting will be next Tuesday at 7PM to wrap up planning for the float. We also hope to hear from Charlene about the details regarding the mailing for the rest of the class and if any assistance is needed on finding people and putting out the invitation letter, etc. If anyone else has anything they want to bring to the table next week, please let me know and I'll include it in the agenda.

Till next week, best to you all.

Phil
