I'm hesitant to change the meeting place of our Gene-A-Rama. At past ones, people have told me what an ideal place we have, lots of parking, etc. Even if we have a well-known speaker, I can't foresee exceeding the seating capacity of the church or finding a better/larger facility. Just my opinion, of course! Excuse me if this is a duplicate - I tried to send it before and it bounced. I may not have had the address correct. Betty

Hi Betty, This message came through the list just fine. Thursday night, at the Budget Committee meeting, it was mentioned two or 3 Gene-A-Rama's ago, 230 people to Gene-A-Rama and the church capacity is for 250. 230 people was a tight squeeze. Well, we decided to go with multiple speakers for various. One good reason that stuck with me, have one speaker and that person gets sick, then what? I like the idea of multiple speakers and one big name. Like the year with Myra Vanderpool Gormley. She's a local resident who's nationally recognized. I wish I had known about that Gene-A-Rama, I would have been there. Phyllis Betty Cooper wrote: > > I'm hesitant to change the meeting place of our Gene-A-Rama.
