Here are some abbreviated notes from Thursday because not everyone could make it.
Wendy and Fara went to Irons on Friday THANK YOU ladies. I hear it's lovely.
Here is the info from the visit.
-The price per attendee is $35.00 including tax and gratuity, soft drinks, tea, coffee. Corkage is $10.00 per bottle, Drink tickets would be $5.00 each so Fara feels
we may as well pass on that.
-They have 10 banquet tables/linens for the auction items they can let us use, more than that and we will need to rent. Journey has a few tables if it comes to not
enough tables.
-We can set up 2-3 hours prior however the one room will need to stay open for their late lunch crowd.
-We can stay till some time after 10 pm up to 11pm
-Dinner choices are the chicken, the tri-tip and a vegetarian/vegan and dessert . Fara pointed out that we'll need to figure out a way to let Irons know what the
choices are per attendee.
-They are waiving the room rental fee
-$250.00 deposit when contract is signed, they are holding the date they will accept a CC for deposit amount
-10 days prior prelim numbers, final numbers 5 days prior
