Guys,

Our first Diwali meeting will be held at Vamsee house on Friday Sep 6th 9.00 pm.

We will finalize the date and various committee and other items on this meeting.

I have also attached a modified last year excel sheet which we can use for this year planning.


Thanks Vamsee for offering your place.

See you all then.

Praveen

Guys,

Since the current facility is not available for Oct 25th, Can you find any other place which can accommodate around 250 people along with permission for fireworks.

If you can find out before our first meeting this Friday, it will be great.

Thanks,

Praveen

Praveen - Friday will be tough to most of us, as it's working day. I prefer Saturday Nov 9th.

I agree that November 9th is better than 25th October.

Thanks

Looks like someone left Vamsee's house just now wearing my black slipon shoes, I came home barefooted so that you can go back to Vamsee to pick your right footwear. Let me know.

All,


I have checked with Frying pan park, and they have availability for Friday Oct 25th and Nov 1st. This party hall can accommodate up to 200 people. Rent is $95 per hour and Good part is they have stage too. 

Only hick up is fire works are not allowed, for which I think we can still do in our community near the club house on some different day in weekend, so that we don't have to rush for doing everything on same day. Just my 2 cents.

Pravin ji,

We still want your leader ship. So let's resolve any issue amicably.

Regards,
Jinesh

Jimesh - We are doing our Diwali party on Nov 9th. Oct 25th/26th is not possible, bcoz the high schools kids can't make it.

We will be booking the same jewish hall by tomorrow.

Jinesh, 

Please confirm about alcohol.  Parks usually don't allow liquor.

Frying Pan park is Nice venue for us..but that's not close to Our Place...and When we discussed Initially about venues...we didn't prefer Frying Pan park bcoz of the distance and  Fireworks too. Sreedhar Malipeddi  blocked that venue for us on Oct 27th / Nov 8th and later cancelled
 
We need to how many are OK with that Venue as well.

Guys,

There is too much chatter on the topic of date for the diwali function and it is distracting from the intent of making this a joyous and fun event for all.  Every date has a challenge, and someone(s) will always be inconvenienced.  The goal is to enjoy this event as a group.   To that end, I have created a survey, please complete by EOD.  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/T9MS63J

Simple majority will decide the date.  This will be the end of discussion on this topic.

If someone has a better way, please step up, now is the time.


Please complete by EOD today!  Anonymous submissions will not be counted.  Everyone will have equal voice.  One vote per household.

Thanks,


Shwetal

Is there a string reason for us to NOT go with the Nov 9th?

Fireworks is a good celebration for everyone including kids, not doing this on a Diwali party would not be fun

Lets keep the same venue as last time- Jewish church

I just checked with them regarding Alcohol, all we have to do is pay $150 extra for getting permit.

Probably it's a good idea to get a vote on the venue too?

Something else that we have look at is the capacity of the venue.  I believe their event hall is not big enough to handle Barnstead crowd (200), its about half the size of our last Diwali venue.    Been there a couple of times and remember having alcohol.

Guys, 

Let's not debate via email.  Please complete the survey and that will allow for the most scientific way to determine the venue.

Thanks,
