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.

someone who has paid has decided they won't be attending the dinner. They do not want a refund.
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.^^

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