PSOA 2007 SOG Dinner

[Chris Saper]

Count me in, too. David D always has such lovely manners

[Richard Bingham]

Oops! I voted without posting. Thank you for this gracious boon, and the opportunity to meet the "Forum Mites"!

Two questions: will this be open to include our "insignificant others" ? And where do we send the $$ (I presume you'll finalize the $50-60 estimate shortly?)

[Marina Dieul]

If it's not too late, I would love to join !

[Alexandra Tyng]

Cynthia, do you think you will go ahead with the dinner this year?

[Cynthia Daniel]

Alex, I think I will, but much smaller than 2 years ago. I didn't do Dallas because I didn't like their deal for a catered event. I think a smaller event in the restaurant will be my choice for this year.

[Garth Herrick]

Yes! Count me in.

A dinner of any size and attendance level, organized by you, Cynthia, is a Must! (Sorry I missed this thread 'til now. This is exactly what I meant and wished for as a "bite" together in the other thread about who among us are attending the Conference.)

Thanks Cynthia, for considering this!

I emailed everyone today that responded in the affirmative on this list, but I have not heard back from anyone yet. I'm sorry to be running so late, but some personal things set me back, but now time is of the essence.

The time has changed. It's still Thursday May 3, but at 8pm-10:30pm. Previously it was starting at 6pm.

The following prices includes tax and gratuity.
Dinner $67. (does not include drinks)
Soda $4.
Coffee or tea 6. (free refills)

If you want wine, I can email you a wine list where you can choose by the glass or bottle. You'll need to include 5% sales tax plus 22% gratuity for any wine you choose.

Please email me any further communications regarding your intent instead of posting here.

My address to mail a check is 1482 Buckeye Lane, Palm Harbor, FL 34683

The dinner will be held at the Market Street Grille new private dining room. They did not have this room in previous years.

[David Kassan]

Count me in, I'll be able to stay the whole time this year unlike 04, May I suggest we do it at White Castle, because of Linda B's new rules?

[Bobbi Baldwin]

Hi Cynthia,
This is actually the first I have heard of this. So, I would love to see you again, and meet up with the artists attending. I will mail my check. I will also try to get my paperwork and photos together for the application to be on your site again.

Looking forward to being involved again.

[Thomasin Dewhurst]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year, which I am very sorry about. Thank-you for the offer, though.
