[PVRCNC] PVRC NC Meetings

[Eric Wagner]

Hey all,

I wanted to pass along my thoughts on this topic that I sent Bill before yesterday’s meeting that I was unable to attend.

I am in favor of resuming an in person meeting for dinner like we were doing pre-pandemic.  I doubt it is feasible to have a hybrid (in-person and Zoom call) meeting.  Even in special video conference rooms when I was still working did these types of meetings work very well.  I would opt for 2 separate meetings each month.  Probably make the in-person meeting an informal event and have an ‘official’ meeting via Zoom.  The Zoom meeting allows those that are more remote to participate more easily and regularly.   That probably makes a bit more work for you as the chapter chair. 

In a previous exchange I also suggested a restaurant in the Cary/Morrisville area called Hickory Tavern near the I-540/NC55 interchange.   I have attended a flying club social meeting there a couple times this year.  They have a back room that I think would work for us.  It is a bit smaller than Manchesters.   The food has been good and is typical American pub fare similar to Manchesters. 

Hope this helps to get others to chime in.
