Hot dogs? Steak? Niko Nikos??        IMO the date gathered from this question really wont help us. 3) What day of the week?  Com on no one will ever agree on this ...  WHY ASK??? 4)  What price range?       This is a better question, but it should be worded something like         As a BVARC member what price per person do you think is appropriate for a nice dinner and a nice meeting place?         (this will get a variety of prices), so the club can choose .. With the way you worded it I would be inclined         to just choose the lowest number... This rewording is more like how much would you pay MAX...         then it would be easier for BVARC to choose a better value for the member since the banquet is (traditionally)         partially subsidized by the club for club members... Means club member is getting  a good deal...               As is $35 a person, geez I can eat all the catfish I can stuff in for less than $15 at many places..     Unless we are doing something very elegant, the prices this year and last year are WAY TOO MUCH.. its supposed to be partially subsidized by the club for club members....  And $50 for non members??  A guy can get in and out of some of the fanciest restaurants .. you can get a pretty good rib eye for $50...   not catfish and dry chicken..   this is the opinion of  Eddie Runner BVARC Life Member NU5K   ps: think about the results that make a difference before carefully choosing questions for a survey..       On Tuesday, January 9, 2024 at 01:38:43 PM CST, Jeff Greer via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote:     BVARC,   The banquet survey is live here:   https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WNN67LG Thanks!   Jeff Greer, W5JEF BVARC Corresponding Secretary   From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> on behalf of Mike Hardwick via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> Sent: Monday, January 8, 2024 8:24 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Mike Hardwick <n5...@att.net> Subject: [BVARC] BVARC Awards Banquet - Update   I want to let everyone know that even though it was a great effort, we did not meet the minimum for the caterer for the BVARC Awards Banquet. So at this time the banquet on the 18th is cancelled. For those members that paid via PayPal, their money will be refunded. Those that paid by check, the check will be mailed back to you. If you have not received your refund by the end of January, please send me an e-mail at n5...@att.net    It is unfortunate about the cancellation but the banquet is not going away. Over the next few days a survey will be e-mailed to all members to see just what everyone would like to do for an awards banquet. The survey will only a few questions:   1. Would you like to have the banquet at a restaurant or have it catered? 2. What type of food would you like to have? 3. What day of the week would you like the banquet held? 4. What kind of price range would be acceptable for you for the banquet - $15 to $20, $20 to $25, $25 to $30 or $30 to $35?   Hopefully we can get enough responses in over the next few weeks so a new banquet can be held sometime in the last half of March.    When you get the survey, please consider your answers carefully and constructively. Club members input is what keeps the club going.    73,   Mike Hardwick, N5VCX President Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club 713-826-6917           ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bvarc@bvarc.org/ ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bvarc@bvarc.org/ ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bvarc@bvarc.org/ ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bvarc@bvarc.org/
