Whose never been to a meeting?

[DLCanuck]

I agree like Yaktop wrote,

If we had a list of the member geography location we can design a way to divide a sector area, for a example, Boston area, Worcester area, Taunton area, New Hampshire area, Providence area, then select or have volunteers of the area and each month have a rotation meeting place, we schedules it in advance so every one will have a chance to get to the meeting and plus a chance to check out local stores too.

 

[DLCanuck]

Oh yea i almost forgot Cap Cod area too

 

[Moe_K]

I made this a sticky, as requested.

 

[ducker]

I've only made two meetings and the big auction... The meeting in Waltham seemed to be the most centralized location for those coming down from NH/VT/ME, and up from The Cape and RI/CT.

Since that isn't a choice, the Marlborough/Westborough location would be a good secondary choice.. (Worcester beeing too far west IMHO)

I'd think you would be able to find cheaper costs in MarlboroughWestborough then in Waltham. . .

Ok we have a venue for any Taunton meetings we may like to have. I'll get to the BOD. nothing fancy but fits our needs and our budget.

 

[Lam]

Ed, will there be liquor served at this venue? BYOB allowed?

I only ask because....well you know Dawn

 

[Yaktop]

Cash Bar for those with cash or friends with cash.

[Yaktop]

patience. I know they are trying to schedule something.

The Sheraton Four Points in Waltham costs us $250 for the room not $500. Not that thats any better but just to clarify the point.

Well, yeah. $250 for the room rental plus about the same for catering (pizzas). That puts us around $500.
Or, we coulda gone without the catering. Then the room fee was pretty much $500. They give us a break if we order food.

Moe,

I've had very little sleep last night so please explain. This doesn't make sense to me. The Sheraton charges $500 no matter if we get catering or not? They force the catering on us?

 

[Moe_K]

They don't really force it on us, but they give us a price break on the room for using their catering. My old room mate used to do their group sales and says it's pretty standard in the hotel business.

 

[Lam]

Hmm...offer catering for about 'free'.
Offer a wet bar so we can wash the food down.
Make a total of possibly $800 if not more.

All and all it's a pretty good deal IMO. Especially on an event when we draw 100 + bodies. It's a lot more comfortable and so much more convenient than Wakefield (well Mr. Hiller excluded). Parking, eating and drinking 3 other items in the plus column.

 

[Armando]

i agree, that room was the best.

 

[Lam]

I'll have to agree with you guys. Very comfortable and spacious.

I was just commenting on the good business mind behind the charges.

 

[Aquaman_68]

Room was very comfortable. But it was a hike from my neck. Pretty much the same as going to Wakefield for me. (distance)
