Hi Pat,
Thanks for the feedback. Things were clear about trying for a destination that
is scenic. While Airdrie may not be a top travel destination, it has the
facilities required to complete the task at hand - that is, that Bert Church
High has the labs and capacity to run the planned certification boot camp.
There are some challenges with planning so late for a summer event - mainly
that facilities in mountain communities are not readily available. There is
also the fact that this is a grassroots community that has to rely on input
from members. If anyone has scouted a different venue that can meet the group's
needs and short timeline, we would have heard about it since we met almost two
weeks ago.
Attendance at the August meeting cannot hold the same expectation as the
school-year ones and there are many reasons why some may not attend. Keep in
mind that the desire for the group to continue its work and that the
probability of the group staying intact are high. There will be future
opportunities to meet in other areas of the province that meet a more aesthetic
requirement than Edmonton, Red Deer or Airdrie.
I want to be sure to thank Wanda and Colin who offered to help plan the August
event and remind everyone of the open invitation to be involved in any
discussions or planning for the August event or any future events of our group.
-Pete
