Title: Dec 11-13 meetup? The next NECHE/N.E. Commission of Higher Education
Post by: mamselle on November 25, 2019, 09:56:05 PM
In past years this has drawn several Forumites into the Boston area and has made a meetup possible at the Legal Seafoods in Copley Square.

Is that of interest this year? (Some folks may have moved, but may also be returning for the meeting...?)

If so, say when! Still at Legal's, or elsewhere?

If not, PM or post your regrets....and we'll plan to gossip about you in your absence (kidding).

Open for planning...

Oops, thanks for the correction!

I'll change it in the title (which one can only do by changing it each posting) going forward.*

I must have pulled up last year's announcement in error.

I might be persuaded.  Good food and great company?  I'm in.

So, what about Friday at 7 PM?

I could do Thursday but I'd need to bump a student, and since I'll be going away for three weeks after that, I'd rather avoid his missing that lesson.

Let me know here, or by PM!

Can you put me down as a tentative-leaning-toward-yes? My schedule at the end of the semester is blowing up with lots of meetings and conference calls. That Friday ought to be ok but I can't guarantee it just yet.

So, I should have then posted the total: 2 + 0.5* + 1 (me) = 3.5 (= a quorum!)

I'll call in a booking.

Anyone else?

M.

* Spork, should I make that 0.75 instead? Since you said "leaning towards..." ;--》

I cannot meet for dinner - sorry! I'm also booked for lunch - but if folks wanted to get coffee in between, like 2/3 pm - I could do!

Hmmm....I was about to call yesterday when I got a PM from one more individual who could do Thursday PM but no other time.

Irhack, would Thursday PM work for you?

Others?

I just checked with my student and they can be flexible, so if Thursday is really better for everyone, we can plan on that, instead.

Let me know!

Preference for an earlier than later dinner reservation time, simply because I have a drive (I'm from the USA and it's all about me, me, me). I don't know when NECHE activities wrap up for the day though.

Ok, yes, it looks like 7 will work, others are also wanting to meet earlier rather than later.

Reservation made; I've requested the round table by the big picture window!

It's this Thursday!

I'm leaving the reservation for 7 PM for 6 guests under my forum name.

Legal Sea Food,
Copley Square
Boston MA

If you find you can attend at the last minute, just let me know and come along, no need to hear back....the table can take a couple extra folks.

I will have the Blue Triangular Rhinoceros sign up for confirmation, too, in case we've never met.

Looking forward to seeing folks!
