Wendy again

It's nice to see the last couple of posts on a more positive note. Thanks for everyone's feedback and understanding. Let's continue to stay upbeat and make this blogsite a place for reconnecting. Whoever you talk to from our class, let them know about this blog and encourage them to say hi. The pictures are great, please keep them coming. Oh, and when you do post, please remember to sign your name...no anonymous posting.
I just got off the phone again with the Waters edge and the chef hasn't given a cheaper buffet # to our coordinator yet. However, it was suggested that maybe we consider a plated dinner, as that can run 5-10$ per person cheaper. I guess we felt so many people would be up and around and buffets are simpler when trying to please a crowd and so that's why we were choosing a buffet, but I'd be up for either.
As far as starting earlier, sorry but our contract is for 8-12. If any of you would like to meet at the bar or the outside area just outside the bar and have cocktails before the 8 o'clock start time, that's great. I am guessing there will probably be groups of people everywhere having preparty fun before we get started at the Waters Edge.
The menu and all sorts of other stuff can get discussed at a meeting that we're planning for November 4th at Maura Doxsee's. I'll let you know when Maura decides on a time for that meeting and at that point I'll ask you to rsvp to her so she knows how many people to expect. I look forward to seeing anyone that can make it.
Again, thanks so much for everyone's input. Keep all the news on your lives coming!
Wendy
