There have been several discussions about having a D.I.Y. PLUS sometime next spring or summer. Here of some of the ideas that have been tossed around:
1. The event should be in early to mid July, kids are out of school.
2. The location should be near a major Airport.
3. Held at a hotel with a meeting room for people to stay there and they would not have a need to rent a car to get the gathering.
4. We can get a local caterer to bring in food.
5. The location should be centrally located. This is a tough one for our Down under friends.
All these things are up for discussion, as well as the location. I have offered to help arrange it, but depending on its location, how much I could do. We would need to get some type of commitment from people to see if this something worth looking into further I would think there would need to be at least 25-35 people.
I could call around to get some preliminary prices to see what costs would be for a hotel room, meeting room and some food. I am located just south of the Philadelphia International Airport; I know Southwest Airlines flies in and out, so there is some cheaper airfare depending on where you would be coming form.
I plan to write a form letter to some of the venders that we use to see if they would be interested in sending us any product information or samples.
Well, what does everyone think? I know we got about 20 or so people at Jeff’s house when he did his two Philly area minis there in the past two years, and we had a lot fun and learned some new and exciting things from each other.
