Thanks, Garth! I'd love to do another one like the last one in DC. It was the best and the food was awesome. Prior to that, I did the dinner in the restaurant, but the group became too large for that - which led me to do a catered event in a private room. But, I have to tell you that it was a lot of work to put together - planning the menu, handling all the emails back and forth, collecting the money, dealing with last minute attendees at the event. We had 46 attendees that year - I did send out an email to ask who was interested for one this year - tho I didn't mail to all the Forum members - just made a post - so the response is lower. I think the large turn-out year before last was because I did email all the Forum members. Bottom line is that to have a catered event, they require a minimum number of attendees or I get stuck with the difference. So, I'm thinking just to keep it smaller and in the restaurant because of time constraints this year - unexpected funeral, unexpected dental work and more. I expect to make some kind of a final decision in the next week if I can get myself together enough over here.
I do believe I made a separate post regarding a dinner if you all will look for it an express your interest over there.
