[PVRCNC] Hi Bill -meeting

[Hank]

Haven’t heard anyone complain about the food where we are now.  Nor have I heard of anyone getting food poisoning there in the past year plus that we’ve been meeting there.

I’m not looking for gourmet food in a social group meeting associated with a hobby interest.  A simple burger or bowl of chili and salad are more than adequate.

My vote is to go to quarterly meetings in person and have monthly zoom get togethers if you so desire.

People have multiple demands on their free time and monthly travels of 25 or more miles isn’t a popular option for many.

My 2 cents,
73
Hank

They were very accommodating and I had told  you or someone that we should consider that location. They were on the west side of the street - o forget the name but I recommended it at the time to you.
