I am in favor of something very informal also. I know Millie’s (sister) class had something up at Altoona Lake in Marietta. I don’t believe it was very expensive either. I do have a community center across from me where I live in Swan Lake the Stockbridge area. It has a full kitchen, stove, sink, bathrooms and tables. It would hold at least 75 people and is very inexpensive. Not fancy at all but very convenient from Atlanta, Covington, South Atlanta and East to Lawrenceville. This could be a last resort but it is an idea, maybe someone else has a place in their neighborhood. We could even check with catering, country food, Mexican or something of that sort. Of course pot luck is good also. I do have a family reunion the 2nd weekend in October, so that weekend is out for me.

Here is the message from Bobby.....I'm worried because the longer we wait the less notice people have to make plans to come to a reunion. It would really help me to get a date on my schedule......at this point we don't really have a committee working on anything. Bobby's sister has cancer and isn't doing well so I know it would be an additional stress for him to take the lead. Everyone works so taking on the job of coordinating something like a reunion can be just one more thing to do which was why I was in favor of paying the professionals to do it for us. The messages on the blog were that people wonted to do something informal maybe a pot luck in a park but nothing ever developed and no messages have come through in weeks that is until the recent one from David Young. Do you have and suggestions? Ruby

RUBY,
I HAVE POSSIBLY FOUND A MEETING PLACE IN PEACHTREE CITY FOR $300.00. IT IS WITH THE COMMEMORATIVE AIR FORCE
(THEY RESTORE AND FLY WORLD WAR II AIRCRAFT) AT FALCON FIELD AND THEY HAVE A MEETING ROOM WITH A KITCHEN, BIG ENOUGH FOR 50-60 PEOPLE. PLUS THERE IS A HOLIDAY INN NEARBY THAT I AM TRYING TO NEGOTIATE RATES WITH. AND THERE ARE SEVERAL NEARBY RESTAURANTS THAT WE COULD MEET ON FRIDAY NIGHT. LOOKING AT SATURDAY, AUG. 23. AND IF THIS DOESN'T WORK OUT, HAVE A COUPLE OF MORE OPTIONS. WE CAN EITHER GO POT-LUCK OR CATERING.

This all sounds great, I would really vote for no music. If someone wanted to bring something for music that would be great but I believe a DJ or band is too costly and most people just want to sit and talk anyway.

There is also a place called the Train Depot in Fayetteville. I attended a party there in April, not fancy and not large but would accommodate at least 75 people.

GANG,
CHECKED WITH THE OWNER OF THE TYRONE DEPOT IN TYRONE, GA. (NEAR
PEACHTREE
CITY) AND HE QUOTED A DAILY
RATE OF $1500.00. IT IS REALLY NICE BUT WE WOULD PROBABLY NEED AT LEAST
100 PEOPLE TO MAKE IT WORK. THE MEETING ROOM/HANGER AT FALCON FIELD IN
PEACHTREE
CITY IS $300.00. STILL
LOOKING.

This may sound crazy especially coming from a professional musican, but, I agree with Trissa, I think background music would be plenty, not really worried about the money as much as the noise level. Also, if it is a fairly small group, there probably would not be that much dancing etc.

JOE,
I HAVE CHECKED WITH
THE GATHERING
PLACE AND THEY ARE BOOKED ON SATURDAY NIGHTS WHICH
WOULD LEAVE FRIDAYS (THEY HAVE AN EARLY BOOKING) OR SUNDAY NIGHTS. I
BELIEVE A FRIEND OF MINE OWNS THE DEPOT IN TYRONE AND I AM TO GET WITH HIM
MONDAY IF I AM NOT TIED UP AT THE DOCTORS WITH MY SISTER. THERE ARE ALSO
SEVERAL PLACES IN FAYETTEVILLE BUT I BELIEVE THEY MIGHT BE A
LITTLE PRICEY. THE HANGER AT FALCON FIELD LOOKS PRETTY GOOD BUT THEIR AIR
CONDITIONING IS MARGINAL. IF WE MET THERE, WE COULD ALSO MEET FRIDAY NIGHT
IN PEACHTREE
CITY AT LONGHORN'S OR A
SIMILAR RESTAURANT AS AN INFORMAL GET TOGETHER. PLUS I HAVE A FRIEND THAT
IS THE MANAGER OFTHE HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS IN P'TREE CTY AND WE ARE WORKING ON
ROOMS FOR THOSE COMING IN FROM OUT OF TOWN. CARRABBA'S OR SEVERAL OTHER
PLACES I HAVE LEADS ON COULD HANDLE THE CATERING. I WILL GET YOU A LIST OF
WHO I HAVE CONTACTED AND WE CAN WORK ON WHAT'S
LEFT.

Bob,
If your talking about the hangar at Falcon field, that's a good spot. One of the bands I play in, Peachtree Jazz Edition, http://groups.google.com/group/jazzedition plays there often.
If people want a catered meal, Carabba's has catered there for a couple of events I attended. I believe it was pretty reasonable (like $15 a head?), but we would have to check.
There's also "The Gathering Place" in PTC by the amphitheatre, and "The Depot" in Tyrone.
Do you have contact info (email would be great) for most people? Do you have a list of people that we don't have contact info for?
Joe
