I did check March 24th. There's a wedding in the ballroom.
For food, I was rather thinking of getting some frozen appetizers like Costco's miniquiches, some fruit trays, some vegetable trays, cheese and maybe cold cuts and bakery rolls. Is that too simple? No one ever seems to get too involved in the prom food, because most people eat earlier.
Can someone come up with a list of what we'll need at the bar? I really don't know how to estimate that. We also need to add some beer and wine, at least, for the hospitality suite.
Are we only looking at the one hotel, or are there other options? I am fairly certain that we won't be able to attend because TCG only gets one week vacation in his first six months at the job, and we have made promises to visit relatives, so mainly just curious.
Simple food sounds good.
She says, not even having checked her calendar to see if attending will be possible.
I'll be able to come! I'm excited. My schedule will be flexible and I can go up early to help set up and since I'll be driving I can act as taxi if needed.
I'm happy to help anyone who needs assistance. More opportunity to get my hands on yummy Buffistas! ;)
If I can make it, I may have to be handicapped for the weekend. Just because.
I... might be able to come. Depends on my business trip schedule, which has not yet been announced. I'd really like to meet some Buffistas, too.
Well shoot, since those dates were even on any of the votes or polls I'm booked. I'd blocked most of the possible dates on my calendar just in case, but as a result the non-polled dates got filled.
Should we run this new possible date past the board at large to see what attendance might look like?
We're hoping to make it this year. The current options seem to be 3/24 and 4/14. (With 3/31 out because of Major Event in Town and 4/7 out because of religious holidays.)
Either one works for us.
I can't remember -- what were the dates that were polled?
Here's the locations/date poll:
North, June 8 - 11 (19%)
North, June 15 - 18 (18%)
South, April 6 - April 8 (17%)
North, June 22 - 25 (16%)
South, March 23-25 (14%)
South, March 30-April 1 (14%)
March 30-April 1 the Final 4 is held in Atlanta.
The Highland Inn has a wedding in the ballroom March 24.
April 7 is Easter.
I'm checking with Melissa today if there are any later dates. IIFC correctly, she said there's some major event in town the weekend of the 20th. The last weekend of the month is the Inman Park Festival. She said that the postly get walkups that weekend, so there would probably be room for use. The festival is a lot of fun. The parade is highly whimsical and there's some good music. The downside is that traffic in the area that includes The Highland Inn is insane during the festival. I'm going to check with her today about the first weekend in May, but at that point we're starting to get into college graduations. We have a lot of colleges.
