Topic: Friday meetings ??? Posted: November 06 2003 at 10:29am |
It's already been taken care of.... please see my post in recommendations that I am about to make. (by the way I just got on the forum now to make the update, and saw that you had posted this as well, what a coincidence)

My vote would be to stay on Thursdays. I usually have stuff going on Friday nights. Troy

Adam, it's probably not so bad that you forgot. Those who can't make it on Thursdays wouldn't have been there anyway (though maybe this particular meeting was different). Does this message board software have a "Poll" feature? So long as people can't/don't vote more than once it would probably be more accurate than doing it at a meeting. -Tom

I am so so sorry!!!!!!
I had been planning all week to have a vote by raise of hands, to get a general opinion. Choice one meetings always on Thursdays, choice two some friday meetings, choice three meetings always on Fridays. I had planned it, waited for it.... and totally forgot it. I guess with me getting ready to leave early, and the confusion of the coral cutting, well I just missed it. Sorry Shane, hopefully you or someone will remind me next meeting, because I don't want this to just get dropped.
Once again, the reason we didn't discuss this last night was completely my fault as I totally forgot all about it. I remembered while laying in bed this morning and it was one of those things that makes you just jump up.
Sorry,
Adam

Some of us wouldn't mind having the meeting run over into Friday! That's what Wendover is for... If Adam doesn't bring it up I'll be shocked

I can't make the meetings on Thursdays. I was hoping someone could bring up the topic of the occasional Friday meeting tomorrow night. It appears there is some interest based on the message board posts. If there is a vote taken or something, pls consider this my proxy vote for the occasional Friday!!

Just found this discussion and thought that I would throw in my nickel (inflation). For those of you who are swingers and couldn't dedicate one friday night a month due to a packed schedule... good for you!. However, this is STILL only one night a month. I think that perhaps people would be more willing to attend because most would not have to work in the morning. Perhaps (not that I have been to a meeting yet and cannot factually comment) the meetings could be more casual and relaxed and people wouldn't be too concerned about getting home to be up for work the next morning. This is a hobby and weekends are all about relaxing and focusing on things other than work. I think that it would be a great change for the club and really cater to a broader audience.
I think that that might have been worth a dime!

Right now fridays would be better for me, since I have school mon-thurs. But I can also understand the reasons for having them on thursdays. I do like the once a quarter idea, since that would allow me to attend without missing school, and not cause everyone to have to re-arrange their schedules to much. Just my 2 cents worth.

At just one meeting per month, whether it's Thursday or Friday really doesn't matter to me. Plans can be made accordingly! -Tom

Another alternative might be to have one meeting each quarter on Friday. (4 per year) This would accomodate some of the members that live outside the SL valley (and maybe some of the S.Utah reefers that have been recently posting) I'm not convinced that club decisions should always be based on attracting new members. Nor should they be based on the minority that live more than 50 miles from SLC. But, if a compromise can be reached - then that is a potential win/win for the club.

I don't know about you guys, but as a newbie I wonder how fridays will effect bringing in newcomers. Even a geek like me has a date every once in a while, and although I love a good saltwater revival, I would choose a hot date over that anyday. I am sure that most of us don't consider ourselves total nerds and may on occasion have a life that pulls us away on the weekends. I don't know how everyone else feels, but that is just me.

I'm going to address this at the next presidency meeting, which will be in October.
Thanks for not letting the issue die, and for bringing it up. Usually people have ideas.... then they just get lost and no one follows up on them.
