Those seriously interested in coming, please vote. Others please refrain so we can get as accurate a count as possible.
What we're looking at is organizing a gathering, 'banquet' (if you will), for the NWC Members. This will be an official gathering with a meeting time allocated. By-Laws apply to that (non-members are restricted from voting, etc). Geographically we'd hold this in/around Chehalis/Centralia so as many people can come as possible!
Large aspect of this would be to hold a fundraiser for local charities via auction, raffle, donation, toy/food drive, etc. Options include Northwest Harvest, Children's Orthopedic, Toys for Tots, Habitat for Humanity, or Union Gospel Mission. Discussing the NWC Treasury matching dollar donations to a certain amount.
The big question is, 'When should we have this?' Another thing that comes up is, "How should we hold this thing?" Keep in mind this is a 'feeler', so we're not picking an exact date yet, nor are we asking for numbers at this time.
Ok, options here...
1) One is to have it before or after the traditional "Christmas" holiday (Dec 25th), but BEFORE the New Year. Event would be 'per head' and tickets involved to reserve a place for us. Dinner and some beverages provided. Rooms nearby for folks traveling a good distance away.
2) Another option would be the same timeframe, but instead of a 'per head' we'd reserve a conference room or hall and make it a potluck. That way those of us who like to cook can show off a bit.
3) Same as option 1, but held AFTER the New Year. Still a 'per head' event, but designed to be a 'wind down' from the Holiday season.
4) Similar to option 2, but held AFTER the New Year. Potluck designed to be a winding down from the Holidays.
Thanks folks!
