Hey Rain...
Thanks for the help! You probably did.
But I'll give some time and let Mel check it out, too, as she is the committee member who volunteered to do the counting before, okay? :-)
PS - and I'll confess right now...I'm avoiding looking at the "reality" of the numbers, 'cause I absolutely can't go if it's on the 4th....:-(

aww 10derheart Ill take my vote back, since I have no idea if ill go or not, So lets say 6/4 = 6 votes :-)
Maybe someone could post on all the boards about it, maybe comfusing but add a pole on all the highly active boards and only for people who have not voted on admin. I dont know...just an idea.
I didnt find the announcement was all that visible. Or maybe Dr Bob could make it a really bright color in bigger letters.
unless its too late now, I have only recently been following.

No, no, your vote stays the same. Yours counts just as much as anyone's. I'm sure many are not sure they can do something - 100% - in June. I shouldn't have said anything - was just whining a little there...if it turns out that way, so be it. I'll still help plan if the others are okay w/that.
Hmm, I thought the announcement was very visible at the top of every board. But, it could be because I was expecting it and looking for it. It's probably not too late for anything yet. But maybe we'll let Dr. Bob get settled back into a routine after his trip, and then the committee can discuss where we're at with a firm date.
Plz keep offering your ideas - they are always creative and much appreciated :-)

Okay, I'm going to come out and say it...Is there really enough support and people committed to coming to actually have the event?
I don't mean to be a downer, but is there a minimun number of folks attending to break even? I suppose it depends on what scale event you plan, but I'm a bit concerned at the low response.

I don't see why not.
We just plan it at a McDonalds instead of the VFW hall.
(Just kidding, Dr. Bob. I know I'm not on the committee.)
Seriously, this has happened on other occasions. Dr. Bob has said he's going to be going to a certain city, even a city where Babblers are known to live, but in the end few actually show up to greet him.
But a small party can be fun too.

>>i whip through the boards
Now see, I'm like you at times, too..I first read that as something like, " I [I'm carrying] or [have a] whip through the boards"..which I'm sure might be useful at times, but could also mean trouble...
now you be careful with that thing, rain...:-D
> hehe i hope more people vote :-)
Me, too, me, too.
PS - I know, I'm soooo strange...
PPS - oops, I'm getting a little Social...must keep it Admin

In reply to Re: good point, I'd prefer 6/11 or 6/18 (nm), posted by Dr. Bob on March 30, 2005, at 22:31:44
Hmm, not sure what "good point" refers to, but thanks for your preferred dates. I think that's fairly important to know ;-)
We've had only 11 posters vote (12 when Mel sees my post, I'm sure), not including yourself. One person said she didn't "notice the notice" on each board for a long time. I wonder if that could have been true for others? (I thought it was prominent, but that's just me)
I suppose I'm wondering what kind of response - numbers-wise - you were anticipating? Twelve seems low to me. And I'm not alone...
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20050323/msgs/476983.html
But again, I don't have enough prior experience, or a strong enough "feel" for the group/community as a whole to base anything on. I don't know quite what the "original" idea for the Babble birthday party entailed, either.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

I had no idea what to expect! I don't think 12 would interest CNN, but I think it would plenty for a good time. :-)

Is that what the committee thinks should be the next step? :-)

2 cents:
I rather think that we've heard from those who have a preference for when the party should be already.
But a reminder of when the party is to be held and an opportunity to be included in the count would be a good thing. Like a "sign up here" notice.
