Another event suggestion
I realize there is already a thread for event suggestions, but that one is 573 days old, so I'm just not sure if it's appropriate to dig it up from a 1.57 year old grave.
There are quite a number of organizations that have meetings every month, and they use (for the most part) the banquet rooms of restaurants.
When CGF/CGN has gatherings, we do pretty much the same thing at various restaurants in San Francisco after Court events or other special events.
The last event was Gene Hoffman speaking at a Commonwealth Club of San Francisco engagement, and then around 6 of us had dinner at a nice lounge & restaurant.
Considering the growth of both entities (the .net and "foundation.org"), I would like to suggest monthly meets at any designated location. There are quite a few restaurants that would probably love to have us simply due to the potential of that much extra revenue.
I think that there are plenty of good reasons to have meetings every months, especially given the current state of 2013 and what we are expecting in the way of many unpredictabilities and how unstable the Legislative Branch has become.
The Alameda County NRA Member's Council has theirs at Ricky's Sports Lounge in San Leandro. The GS2AC has theirs at Harry's Hofbrau in Santa Clara. Then there are the various meets of other groups in different places in the Bay Area.
I feel also that this would be an excellent way for CGF to garner more in donations.
Anyone?
Erik.
