I had attempted to schedule an annual meeting in May - the date was however canceled by the National Guard Armory in Nashville where we had reserved the date. I have looked at several other locations since then but have not settled on the right mix of price/flexibility (I have no idea how many will attend).
The armory has given me Saturday October 1 as a new date. It is the only date that they have in October.
I need to know
a. will this work for the bulk of TFA members (i.e. is there a big shoot I am not aware of)
b. If I set it around 1pm, do you want me to arrange for BBQ / Fish / etc. (adds to the price)
c. How many will attend
d. Can you come early/stay late for setup or do I need to hire that out.
I would estimate costs at around $15 per person including food.
I would like to know your thoughts on the format of the event? I had anticipated possibly one or two brief guest speakers but I want to spend most of the time in a TFA "business" meeting for TFA. We have elections and committees to deal with.
I need answers and offers for help - quickly - if this is going to happen this year.

Can arrive early and stay late to help setup/clean up.
Cost of $15 - $25 is great price.

I was thinking we might have a pretty good turnout for the event but it looks like we could almost hold the meeting in the back of a Shoneys at this point.

TFA Convention

Unfortunately I will be unable to attend, my brother is taking the plunge on that day.
It might be a good idea to add a "No" option to the poll, this way you will get an idea of the overall response you are receiving to the convention.

My attendence would be entirely dependent on what is going on at my job. It's probable that I could go but I can't promise. My wife's attendence would depend on whether or not she has found a job by then.
On the other hand, I would be pleased to purchase tickets for us both as we are both strong probables.

new options added to poll. So far, does not sounds like much need for a convention.
