Hi Paul, When I was promoting the speaker-meals, we always put the word out for all members to attend (hoping for as large a crowd as possible) and doing good to get 8 or so to actually show up. It's dutch-treat except for the speaker (and, in this case, his wife) whose meal the club provides. I'll find one of my old emails about a pre-meeting meal and forward it to you separately.

We could also go to the orange one across the street that I no longer remember the name to...). Doran will be able to attend with his wife. Does the board have a recommendation on the number of people I should invite or expected cash outlay? Do I pay for everyone? I can think of lots of ways to create and embarrassing evening that could be avoided with the collective memory of the board.
