I ask the same question Focult's Pendulum asked -- What meeting!!!????!???....
Name tags worked well at one of our Chapter Meetings but we used the paper "Hello My Name Is" name tags which were far cheaper. Just some food for thought.
For those who don't know what I do, check out our website -- SSAF.
No meeting, that was part of the original thought process back when the ideas were floating around.

Well folks...what do you think?
I am sure they set up a cash bar.
We can get private room but I have to let them know soon. Right now I have 18 people who are definetaly attending.
We can bring our own name tags... we have really nice laminated ones that "abner" made for FReepers for the August 2001 White House tour.
Once I get some response to this last post I guess we will figure out what to do. This does sound reasonable to me. If we make it an even 38 then we can also get a nice cake! Someone (me) suggested a sheet cake with a nice message on it.
I still dont know if we need to make a deposit or if we can all pay that day. Will find that out when I book it I guess.
I will be bringing pins to the party. They are shown on the first page of this thread.

Looks like a very warm and inviting place.
Whew! Thanks....because if I have two or more scotches before five...I object to everything.
Hope you got my Freepmail....count me in.
I am sure dress is casual. But if someone wants to come as Santa be my guest...: )
I will be attending, probably with my wife and a brother or two or three.
The menu looks great, but I must insist that we select the Shepard's pie. I had it at Moran's and it was excellent. (so was the lobster bisque.)
