[sac-forum] Re: SAC 30 Year Anniversary Banquet

Hello Peter,
By open bar I mean one where people buy their own drinks. I would think that part of the catering service. Every banquet I ever went to had such. If there are no drinks are we to bring our own?
As for waiting too long, you have no idea. I sit in the meetings and because I am deaf I have no idea what is being said. It looked like things were being handled, but I guess not. I have asked questions at the last couple of meeting, but got few answers. I'm probably stupid for assuming people were doing all these things. It was just recently that I began to realize this "special" occasion is going to be just another meeting with some food. That's sad.
I'll be happy to head the committee for the 40th. BTW, who is heading the committee for this event and what are the committee members?

With regards to the latest discussion, I'll voice my opinion:
I am attending the SAC soiree to see fellow club members, hear a fascinating speaker and celebrate the club's longevity; the fact that a dinner buffet is being served is incidental and hardly worthy of being the evening's centerpiece activity. Having dinner at 5 pm at such a function seems way too early to me. I'm sure I'll have no problem paying attention to the speaker while anticipating dinner. ;-)
Personally, I don't need the club funding an open bar... if the Challenger Center even has a liquor license. A cocktail before dinner would be OK by me, but I'd happily pay for my own.
Jeff, you had some good ideas, but I have to wonder why you waited until practically the 11th hour to step forward. No doubt the club can count on you to volunteer as part of the planning committee for the 40th anniversary celebration.
