wording ok?

Sorry I missed the meeting. Who is this going to?

Looks good to me.

@WayneSchulz would you post the list of potential invitees?

We talked about inviting these people from Sage: Diane Coffman Erika Jelovsek Rob Larsh Sue Moore Don Deshaies Doug LaBahn

Perfect!!

Don't forget, Deshaies goes by Donald, not Don.

Anyone else who should be on this list? Pascal?

Go for it.

I think your list is complete.

Sent invites today - told people to rsvp if they planned to attend by 2/12. Diane Coffman Erika Jelovsek Rob Larsh Sue Moore Donald Deshaies Doug LaBahn Pascal Houllion

Sue Moore

Diane: Well good news. I had to work out a few details which I finished yesterday. YES, I would be honored to join the 90 Minds group for the cruise. Let me know if I need to contact Wayne directly with my acceptance. I will be out of the office for the first couple days of next week but will firm up any details later in the week. Thanks, Diane

Good to hear Diane can make it.

Just thought of Ronnie Aspe.... Be around, great support person. Too late to invite???

Not too late just drop the name in here so we can keep track

So do I have to do anything else or have I dropped the name properly?

No just reach out and see if Ronnie wants to attend. My guess is that we will have only Diane from Sage and we'd invited a total of 6 from Sage as social guests so we have room. More of an issue of knowing which people from Sage would also know our members.

Major reason why I thought of him. Long term employee, High level tech support. Comes to Summit every year. Will reach out to him today.

I think we have room or 3 or 4 add'l social invites. Don't care if they come for dinner or meet/greet, etc. Just shouldn't be entire conference imo.

Just spoke with Ronnie Aspe. He is thrilled to receive the invite. He is checking with the boss (lovely wife) to see if he can get away. What if he brings her, can we extend another invitation or ask him to pay the $75 guest fee? Seems a bit tacky to charge for the side kick.

I think it includes a guest. No reason to get cheap!!

Yes to guest at no cost

Getting feedback from some of the presenters. Looking forward to it, wondering about content, etc. May send an email to all in case they have questions.

What types of questions are they asking about content? I think we should have an FAQ for presenters and for vendor members. I had one vendor member participant tell me they'd be ""manning the booth"" during the two days. I honestly think that nobody pays attention. These FAQ should be links to web documents so we can update them for questions that will come in after people start to read.

Is a guest a guest or does it have to be a spouse? Ronnie's first choice is his wife, but he thinks she will bow out due to the ""nerd"" factor (sorry Therese). His plan b is Chris Powers. Thoughts?

Let's send Chris powers his own invite and make it easy. They are both senior support people and would be great!!!

Tell him nerd factor will be very high!!!

;)

Now why would I be offended???

Jeff said it not me!!

Well, then I will take it back...

BTW, was there a thought in there TL?

Were you implying I'm a nerd? Or that I get along well with nerds? Just not sure of your intent. Either way, I'm not offended.....

If it makes you feel better @ThereseLogeais, you'll always be a nerd to me.

Me too!! Robert.

Jeff do you want to Invite Chris

Well then we have the decision of whether Ronnie and Chris can BOTH bring guests now that Chris won't be Ronnie's guest. LOL.

Just tell Ronnie he can bring Chris and his wife if he'd like but we just need an RSVP.

Well maybe Chris' significant other wants to hang with the nerds too....

That you hang around with a lot of nerds.

Yes, I do....

Sooooo, what is it? Ronnie, his wife and Chris for a threesome drive down, or open it up for a fourth??

It's fine with me either way. BTW, Erika says she's coming.

Did she ask if she could bring a guest?? ;)

OK, no response. Unless someone says no, I will let Ronnie know that Chris will get an invite as well and they can let us know how many will attend.

She did not ask.

@JimWoodhead what's the capacity of the boat and are we nearing it? How about food/cocktail-wise?

We can fit 140

We are at about 120

I will give a final number on Tuesday. food and cocktails won't be an issue!!

OK, here is the latest from Ronnie, he can make it, his wife Erika has wedding gigs to attend to on Friday/Saturday. I will send an invite to Chris Powers and a guest. Ronnie has also asked if he could sit in on Barbara G's Tips and Tricks session on Friday. I suggested that he purchase a guest pass to make it easy on me, but said I would ask. I am thinking no, but what do others think?

He'd need to buy a guest pass.

I agree.

According to Ronnie Aspe, Chris Powers is a go for the cruise. They are taking the train down on Friday.

That is great I am sure they will have a blast.

Good deal - I think our members will be excited to meet these folks in person.

Sweet!
