So, Linda gets the mailed contract from Echo Valley yesterday and discovers that there is a 200 person minimum on catering in addition to the cost of the facility. Now being an independent minded person, she bridles at the notion that if the 45th is underattended , that the class funds will still be tapped for 200 instead of the actual head count.
Her immediate reaction is to reinitiate research into other facilities since it is not as though we don't have a little time. We're well over a year away. My reaction is that we'll just have to make sure we have over 200 so that if we lose a few folks to last minute unavoidable absences,which we know from the Spring thing happens, we'll still have over 200 and everything will be fine. Either way, it does not detract from the quality of the facility.
After consultation with other members of the committee, who reassure Linda that we will have over 200 for the Reunion, Linda rededicates herself to tying up loose ends with Directories and CDs and such. Sh still feels like she's being held for ransom though. I can tell.
In the meanwhile, we have received quite a few offers of help. We are talking about what form this additional help can take. We are certain that the need for help is always there. It is a question of how best to utilize the help in a meaningful and least painful way. Even though decorating is a long way off, there is still momentum building activities such as setting up telephone contact trees and such. We always welcome help.
