2015 Mini Regional
Attachment 4354
As discussed during last night in the Nov 19, 2014 meeting we're going to get an early start on the preparations for the 2015 Mini Regional. We're obligated to manage it again this year since the Columbia Chapter did it two years in a row.
As you all know this event was an overwhelming success, and we're all hoping to do equally well, or better, next year - with your help and a little extra time.
We've decided to do the show again at Griot's and Kenny will find out what dates we have available to us. And we're thinking to do it earlier, like late July, to make sure the kids are all out of school and can make it (assuming you have any of those). Griot's has a great setup for BBQ's and picnic atmosphere - something we can make better use of next year.
If you managed a position last year, let us know whether you are willing and able to repeat the same duties this year - or if you'd like some help.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

I'll be glad to manage the registration table again, and possibly more.
-
I will do what I can depending on date. The flip side of having it when school is out - that is when we go on road trips and family vacations without pulling the kids out of school. Last year we were traveling cross-country for three weeks!
-
Tacoma is a road trip...

Not sure how I can help, but I'd love to be able to make it next year

2015 Mini Regional
It is so hard to lock in a date when we travel as much as we do, but we will help. My health issues have improved much over the last couple of months, so that shouldn't hold me down. Larry & Carol

Just a heads up time is already running out. Has anyone got a hold of Griots to get a date yet?? Time to get this thing going.
We need a date without that nothing els can move forward. I am super swamped at work but I will do what I can but i know without a date the vendors will NOT donate.
-
Like last time, I'm not getting an email response from Griot's but I will try again. But when I looked at the calendar several weeks ago it looked pretty bleak for anything before schools start up. I think those were probably snatched up last year.
So, unless someone see's a date that I'm not seeing, it looks like September again. But if we decide it needs to be while school is out for summer break, we will need to change venues.

3 days in July it seems if we avoid the 4/5th - 11th, 19th, 26th -
then August 29th.
-
OK...I could have sworn July was full. :confused: If I don't hear from Guy in a couple of days I'll try calling. I would much rather do a Sunday show so that leaves 7/19 and 26th.
Any preference? Or does anyone think Saturday is better?
-
Just got an email from Griot's and these are the days they still have available:
July 5 (probably not a good weekend)
July 11 (a Saturday)
July 26 (a Sunday)
I would prefer July 26th so everyone has Saturday to get ready. Let me know ASAP if that date works (or doesn't) for anyone by the end of the day and I will write back to reserve the date.
-
My preference at this point: July 26th.
-
It's not going to fit every need - I'm sure - but it is a good date and we don't want to to start the whole "new venue" search. I second the motion on that. Reserve it.

Done...as soon as I hear back I will confirm.
