Re: Idea for Network JC

I group that under "users organizing events in their own regions." [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I like the idea of having more organized JC events...but I would like to keep NJC VEGAS as THE premiere yearly event... and just have small orderly events around the country.. doug and I are looking at Florida and Michigan as top contenders - primarily because florida has quite a few active members, my BIL works for DISNEY & lives in Otown now and Michigan/surrounding states also has quite a few active members, plus I have family up there as well as a cottage we could BBQ at)...We could open it to backyards as well to save on $$....
The Seattle Boeing Family Day/Tour we'll be doing as a JC function as well - we just don't know when and I think MikeC (Mpenguin) might like to hold another OC with a trip to Alteon/Boeing again (I dunno)...
I'd like to do a NJC DC, so we can all do an air/space mueseum tour together and a NJC Chicago if possibe to go to the science/industry museum. We'll have to see what we can do.
as far as setting up meeting space and doing the same type of thing as we did in Vegas this year (food/goodie bags) - that would be quite a bit of work and quite a bit of $$.. unless we can get some good discounts somehow - i'm not sure we can pull that off... but we could meet at a restaurant and have a private room type function or something like that too!! of course, i'd be enlisting help from those within the particular cities.
options are open! it's a matter of finding a good time/location and hotel deals for everyone!
In order to have 2 functions per year like NJC VEGAS.. ie: NJC VEGAS & NJC NY or something like that - we'd have to have a good turnout at both venues in order to come out on the + end of things...
