[sac-board] Re: 20th anniversary Dinner question

No idea on the cost issue for the 20th... I think Steve Coe set that all 
up.  But it was held at "Bud Brown's Barn" (on Northern Avenue), which 
has since been sold to a different group.

Some past anniversary (or Xmas) dinners were held at Pinnacle Peak 
Patio, Reata Pass, and one year, at the Scottsdale Hilton !  (Would you 
believe I have a picture of Gerry Rattley in a suit (!!) from that 
affair ??)

I suggested to Jennifer P. the possibility of having an out-of-town 
"name" guest speaker.   Unfortunately, David Levy is not well at this 
time... (He "owes" us a talk, since he has found another comet!)  I have 
some additional ideas, presuming the club would like to fund the 
expenses, transportation and such.....

I would suggest the Science Center downtown as a venue (they do catered 
dinners and such, no idea how expensive), BUT the downtown traffic is a 
MESS this year, thanks to the light rail development.....

There is the Peoria Discovery Center, don't know if they do 
dinners...... Just an IDEA, mind you, haven't a clue as to cost....

How about a field trip out of town and dinner, say, in Tucson or 
Flagstaff?  Or Safford, after a tour to Mt. Graham?  (There IS ONE good 
place in Safford......)
