Committee Events

Russ Graff has been talking on and off about returning to MOTM. He was thinking Sage would bring him along but that doesn't look as if it will happen. He had $3,000 budgeted which is probably close to what he spent last year. Peter and I decided that we'd recommend that the group accept a $2,000 renewal and $1,000 ticket from Russ. We sent him the paperwork pending the group final ok.

He's not expecting to speak, right @WayneSchulz just attend and may be bring cookies?

good for me. He just likes to party!!

Attend and Cookies. No speaking.

That sounds acceptable. I wonder how well SIA has really been doing, and perhaps Russ will again be looking for other opportunities. Our success with SIA has been mixed, and I have stopped actively pushing it.

He has to bring cookies and tea. His wife owns a tea shop.

Fine with me. Like so many things Sage, SIA has great potential but the potential is not being realized. It WAS reasonably priced but that changed. The problem is that once it got in the door, it didn't work (for many reasons) and Sage did little (or nothing) to make it work. I DO feel bad taking his money, but hey, it is $3,000!!!!!
