Guys,
As many of you know, I am getting ready to move to our Colorado home. Although the exact date isn't set in stone yet, it looks like it will be before the 2nd Saturday North Breakfast in July. That means that this next upcoming breakfast in June will be the last time I get to gather with you. After that, you will have to go on without me, which I am reasonably confident you can do . I will give the nametags to HammAR so that job will be taken care of. But I am wondering about a new facilitator/liason? In serving in that role for the past five years, what I have done primarily is to put the event on the MGT calendar each month a couple weeks in advance, and then post a thread a week in advance giving the specifics. I have also acted as a liason with whatever restaurant we were meeting at when necessary. That job isn't too much work since we have a regular reservation on the 2nd Saturday of every month. But if we aren't going to be there on our usual date (due to other events or weather cancelling our event) I like to call and give the restaurant a heads-up. Then the following week I call again to make sure we are back on the calendar (it seems that we are often dropped if we miss a week). That is about it for the job. Seriously it takes about 10 minutes a month or so for most months. It is wrestling the nametag onto HammAR that is most of the work. I guess I am wondering if, going forward, you guys want to have someone serve in this capacity or if you have a better idea? Please chime in here with your thoughts!
Mike
