Monthly Meeting Location/VOTE.......

[Martimus]

Well with it a 12-4 vote at this point its looking like Berge is in the future. Doesnt matter to me, Ill make the meetings I can, and miss the ones I cant make. It's always going to be an issue. In fact I just posted to one topic and the guy I was talking with was in the UK so its obvious we cant make it convenient for him. I think the hot weather makes it more of a drag for everyone, but if it was 70 in Phoenix driving to Berge doesnt seem that bad. the heat makes the drive less appealing.

Maybe... but somehow I suspect 16 isn't a statistically significant representatiion of the CMC membership as a whole.

I've given this some more thought and here is what I came up with.

We have 12 meetings a year.

2 of them already have a location other than the church.

That leaves 10

6 meeting per year SHOULD be held at Berge.

That leaves 4

If stage 3 would host those 4, I think this would be an excellent solution.

If not, I could host 1 at the club house here in the gated community where I live in Peoria.

And I'm sure we could come up with a location for the other 3, maybe in some cool locations, that some of you could think of.

I just posted my concerns and that is why I started this new thread. I am glad I did. Don't shoot the messenger please.

Ok, I promise I won't shoot you

Consider this a sample of whats to come, to this date I have only one person contact me about the change. We will discuss this again at the next meeting. As for Berge I am very sure they love to have us there! The $1000 we would save is significant but we also do not want to allienate west side members. To this date we have not ha any issues with our cars at the church, thank God, and thanks to Kevin last meeting I don't think anyone would dare to try. The fact is the pastor approached me in April and said that a womens group had vehicles damaged and fuel stolen one day and that we should "watch out". we will be discussing this further for sure and I am positive we will come up with a solution! Thank you all for your comments!!

Well that's one more contact than me! No one has commented to me on the possible change!

Kevin,
Thanks for the note. You bring up some great points and the one about alternating between locations like you and Joe stated is the best I think. The one at your Clubhouse sounds good and the 6 at Berge as well. They need to have atleast some of them there for our Sponsor. I will talk to you more this next Meeting. I am sure I will be able to pick you out. LOL. I also think that we need to alternate between Guards if we stay at the Church. You need a break so you can attend the Meetings as well. I am planning to win the Lottery soon so I have a job offer for you- You can be my Personal Bodyguard and the Job pays $150k a year so let me know if you are interested. Thanks...........

Sure, although I would prefer to be called a personal security specialist vs. the title of bodygaurd.

Pretty funny how a lot of people don't want to drive to Berge. Isn't that why we have Mustangs, to enjoy driving them?

Hi Orange, Just wanted to off topic for a sec, Dues are only 25.00 for the whole family in your household. Look forward to meeting you soon :)
