Okay, I'm going to come out and say it...Is there really enough support and people committed to coming to actually have the event?
I don't mean to be a downer, but is there a minimun number of folks attending to break even? I suppose it depends on what scale event you plan, but I'm a bit concerned at the low response.

I don't see why not.
We just plan it at a McDonalds instead of the VFW hall.
(Just kidding, Dr. Bob. I know I'm not on the committee.)
Seriously, this has happened on other occasions. Dr. Bob has said he's going to be going to a certain city, even a city where Babblers are known to live, but in the end few actually show up to greet him.
But a small party can be fun too.

>>i whip through the boards
Now see, I'm like you at times, too..I first read that as something like, " I [I'm carrying] or [have a] whip through the boards"..which I'm sure might be useful at times, but could also mean trouble...
now you be careful with that thing, rain...:-D
> hehe i hope more people vote :-)
Me, too, me, too.
PS - I know, I'm soooo strange...
PPS - oops, I'm getting a little Social...must keep it Admin

Hmm, not sure what "good point" refers to, but thanks for your preferred dates. I think that's fairly important to know ;-)
We've had only 11 posters vote (12 when Mel sees my post, I'm sure), not including yourself. One person said she didn't "notice the notice" on each board for a long time. I wonder if that could have been true for others? (I thought it was prominent, but that's just me)
I suppose I'm wondering what kind of response - numbers-wise - you were anticipating? Twelve seems low to me. And I'm not alone...

But again, I don't have enough prior experience, or a strong enough "feel" for the group/community as a whole to base anything on. I don't know quite what the "original" idea for the Babble birthday party entailed, either.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

I had no idea what to expect! I don't think 12 would interest CNN, but I think it would plenty for a good time. :-)

Is that what the committee thinks should be the next step? :-)

2 cents:
I rather think that we've heard from those who have a preference for when the party should be already.
But a reminder of when the party is to be held and an opportunity to be included in the count would be a good thing. Like a "sign up here" notice.

I agree. There's probably no need to repeat the "pick a date" step again.
The final count for choice of dates is:
13 posters voted (including Dr Bob)
6/4 - 9
6/11 - 4 (plus one "maybe")
6/18 - 5FYI, I can now only attend on 6/11. As it appears that probably won't be the date, maybe I should bow out of the committee now. Those committee members who are actually going, can probably plan the rest themselves - especially with quite a small group. I'd still be willing to help in any way I can, though.
Or I can stay on the committee. I just don't know if I'm comfortable having input on any decisions arranging a party I can't attend :-(
Either way, I'm fine with it.
