There are over 40 paid attendees (by a handfull). Obviously the group can not be larger than 40.

I will have to make a determination on the attendee list tomorrow by mid day. So therefore payment deadline will be 11AM central time, Friday Oct 17.

Those of you who know me &/or have been to my Do's know I have a "more the merrier" attitude, this time the restaurant's size became a factor I didn't see coming into play as much as it did.

Two schools of thought when planning a Do that requires pre-payment.

1) accept those who pay first
2) accept those who confirm first to the thread & pay up by a deadline

Reason for #1 is there are PLENTY of people who say they are interested but when it comes time to actually pay, they don't reply.

Reason for #2 is that there are plenty of people who can plan, mark their calendar and try to not let a plan be a last minute knee jerk response, seeing as planning a Do can be like herding cats, I very much value this.

Both have their merits as far as I'm concerned. Of course anyone that isn't attending and has paid will promptly (by tomorrow Friday) get their $ returned and PM notifying them of such.

Thank you,

Willie

I'll have a car and can probably take a couple but may need to stop at Hyatt Schaumberg to checkin before going to restaurant.

Speaking of which, for those at the host hotel & who are going to dinner, perhaps one of you could speak with the hotel & get a shuttle scheduled for a drop off & pick up.

(dinner times listed in post #87).

Hotel Shuttle with take us (anywhere 5mi radius) & pick up.

As a result, there will be a drawing at the restaurant and someone will get their $17 refunded!!!


Big thanks to this generous FTer for allowing us to have a fun drawing at the dinner.^^

How nice! Thank You

I think there will be others with cars but right now with 6 cars, that should be at least 24 people, out of 40.

Did anyone happen to call the hotel to see if shuttle could give a ride to/from the restaurant?
