LCBBers - please read and respond

I have been asked recently about a change in our meeting place/day, etc.  I would like all LCBBers to weigh in (no pun intended) on this question.  Here are some suggestions/options.  Please send me your vote.  If you don’t want to say anything on the Board, please PM me.

 

Option 1 – Stay at Pizza Inn on Thursday nights.

Option 2 – Go to Noisey Oyster on

Rivers Avenue

(across from Northwoods Mall)

Option 3 – Go to different places every week

Option 4 – Go to Pizza Inn on Thursday nights and once a month (like the third week of the month) switch to Tuesday night and choose a different place to meet each week Option 5 - Meet at someone's house on a given night a week.  We could switch from house to house and even do this just 1 week a month.

 

Any other suggestions/options are welcome.  We can then take a vote and see what everyone wants to do.

The other question is the day we meet.  We could switch it up or simply change to a new night.

 

I do want to express that if we change places I will need some help in setting it up. 

 

If you have an opinion on this, please voice it now….or forever hold your peace.

Susann, Any day works for me, If I'm off I'll try to come. I think the Pizza Inn is fine but perhaps every month we could all pick a new venue, for a change.  I think it's better for the regular meeting to be in a restaurant/cafe, however remember we had some meetings on a saturday/ sunday at peoples houses I liked that. I was thinking that the week that MUSC have their meeting, instead of us meeting on a Thursday, why don't we have that meeting on the weekend at someones house, then it gives people a chance to go to the MUSC meeting, just my thoughts,  I think that this group is such a strong support it's important that we all make the effort to keep it going.

Week nights are better than weekends for me. Thurs is fine, but so is Mon, Tues, Wed. I think it would be nice to move the venue around. Once a month at a host members home would be nice. I'll vounteer to host another meeting. My 2 cents. Eddie

You know me, I do not care, as long as we met and it is in a central location.  A lot of us are in basically the same area, but there those few that are on the out lying areas, like me on James Island.  So what ever is decided, I think it needs to stay pretty much central to everyone.  In a few weeks I will be able to help you out with this if needed.  Driving way out once in a while is OK but not something every week.

As an "outsider" who has felt welcomed and feels that she is becoming an 'insider....'   I want to say that I feel this is so kind and giving of you, Susann to do this for everyone.    I hope you don't mind if I add my opinion?    I don't know the area, but maybe if it were at the Pizza Inn once a month still, so that it was in a familiar spot for those folks that could feel that it had a custom spot.... like the "first thursday of every month"  and then then see about moving it to other areas and see how that worked out?    Sometimes change can be very difficult for folks? Again....I hope that you dont mind me adding in my opinion.    I dont know the choices.   Sometimes "new" folks may feel intimidated going to someones home?   So, if it were at the Pizza Inn at least once a month it would give new people a familiar spot... This is, of course... just my humble opinion. hugs, Jill (ps.....  My job search is in full swing.... I have been rapidly sending out my resume and I am trying SO HARD to find a job down there.....   keep me in your thoughts/prayers - however you choose your faith.... I need a job desperately to move, and want to move more to SC than just about anything in the world!!!) xo

Hi,   Sorry I haven't written in awhile.  I've been very busy working and spending time with the family.  I noticed that you were still searching for a job and just wanted you to know Verizon Wireless here is hiring.  You can either apply online or call 1-800-575-HIRE.  The 1-800 number usually has more updated information regarding the positions that are open.  The online site does not always update as timely as the 1-800 number.  They also do phone interviews which will help in your case.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

I really do not care- I just need notice. Just like I told the group last nite- let's make a change 1x a month and see how it works.

We do need to get together.

What we need is Becky- she's the cheerleader of the group.

What has happened to the majority of the ppl? I know that I'm unable to meet sometimes due to work or son.

Anyhow, Susann, I know that I did not help the situation but I am putting my 2 cents in.


On another note I am so looking forward to the fall weather- I love it!!!!!!!!

Hello All, I would vote for option 3.

I love the idea of option #3.  There are lots of people that live in Summerville and further up in the county, that always meeting in Charleston, poses a problem for them to attend the meetings. I also like the Saturday thing we were doing, that once a month someone offers to host a get together at their home, people bring a dish and clothes they would like to swap. I think Thursday's or Tuesday's are good.  Monday's tend to be the typical Monday where if something can come up and get in the way it will, and the weekends are usually not good for me either, that's when I play catch up with what ever I have missed through the week and the kids have hockey on Sat. I think it would be nice to have a suggestion option opened up on Monday's to where people would like to meet, and by Wed, a choice is made so everyone will know where we are going to be in plenty of time.  Some week it may be in North Charleston and some week in Summerville. When in the past I made a suggestion about this, I was told we kept it at Pizza Inn to be kid friendly.  I love children, I have two of my own, but there are not many kids that come to the meetings.  I'm not saying that we should go back to a bar or to a play ground, but I do like the idea of opening the idea's up, as to changing things around, so as to try and please everyone.  Maybe the attendance will go back up. If you would like to get the Saturday thing back going, I would be happy to host the next one.  Let's just set a date. I will be happy to help.  Just let me know how.

I appreciate you offering for the next Saturday meeting. I think alot of us liked the idea. Do we want to meet somewhere different this week? My opinion if we do this then instead of the job being on 1 person every week to find a restraunt to accomadate us that every week a different person steps up and makes the calls or whatever is needed. I personnaly wouldn't be able to do it this week because of school starting up but probably next week.

My only concern though with the meeting being in different places is if a decision isn't made in advance of where we are going to be meeting is that either the person (ex. me)wanting to come will not know where we will be if they didn't get a chance to get to their email that day.

By the way:::: I have checked out Shoney's and they are avail. on Mon. Fri. Sat and Sun only.....I had thought about the banquet room.
