Banquet
|
Presenter:
|
Karen Chiaia
|
Discussion:
Venue selection for December, 2017: Woodwinds offering a good package, $25pp. Next year’s senior class has 18 seniors, so we may need to choose a different option because program is so long. What is refund policy for deposit?
Conclusions:
Minimum 200 people, the entire facility is ours to use, but Board is unsure the event is cost effective; considering other ideas in place of banquet for entire team, perhaps a separate event for Seniors. Deposit is nonrefundable but can be split into two installments; date cannot be held until deposit is paid.
