Please count me in for the event. I'll bring the chili.
Couple of thoughts:
Venue:
http://www.belknapmill.org/ This is an excellent piece of Lakes Region. They have a hall that is certainly large enough for the event. I'd be happy to discuss a "deal" with them regarding dates and rates. Plenty of parking and handicap access. Check out the gift shop link on the site. They are using the old equipment to make socks! Very Cool.
Fundraiser: Maybe we have a talented graphics person out here that could design a special 15th Ann. tee shirt/hat? Proceeds to the charity? I vote for the Scholarship the AW discussed.
