Alpha Dog, that's a good question, but it's too early to pin it down.
The only thing that is for sure is that it will definitely be somewhere in Southern California.
One idea I've had is to do a trip to Catalina Island for a day, since staying longer might be too expensive. Of course, if that is what we choose to do, Members could stay longer and come home on their own. My thought is that if we have enough Members and family and friends, we could possibly charter our own boat. Variations of this idea were "floated" (pun intended) at the Lunch with some Members thinking about the "party boats" in Newport Harbor."
I did ask about having the Members "chip in" for the next event and the question became how much?
This will depend on how many of us there are and what we decide to do, so you can see why I wanted to allow at least two months to brainstorm.
In the meantime, I'm going to look into the "boat" ideas and get some costs together, in order to see if this direction is practical.
Anyway, you should be able to see what my thinking is and start adding your ideas to the mix.
You'll have plenty of time to make your plans, once we decide what we 'll be doing.
I say this over and over again, "the key is to make it possible for the greatest number of Members to attend!"
