I've mostly read the same things. Dark lighting, open to the public, crowded, expensive. But I've been to places that have outside areas as well by their bar/grills, like a patio. It will prob still be nice outside by October. Also, heard you can bring your own water/soda so you don't have to buy drinks. Hot Appetizers are free. Worst case... we bring our own drinks... a flash light... and a good attitude. If its really that bad, maybe a few of us N4M's can just relocate another area. I'm sure they have a lounge area someplace.

Sounds like the Ramada is the easiest. I agree with cameowlot - we will make it a great evening no matter what. I like the idea of bringing in our own drinks.

Sounds good to me too...I'll check with Hona about getting the event page up with the times. I believe we have to give them a head count a week before.

Hi,
Just caught up reading; can we investigate some other places? Sounds like the meet and greet at the Ramada is often very crowded; some PIRs have said that they had a hard time 'finding' each other there. I guess we need to decide if our 'purpose' is to Meet and Greet each other as the N4Ms group or to meet other folks there as well!
Let me know if you'd like me to check out some other places for a place to hang out; I'd be glad to do check out some places if you all would want to investigate, just let me know what you think.
Thanks! -

Well my only concern about somewhere else is cost. If we go somewhere that doesn't have a meet and greet, then we may have to pay for a room, food, etc.

I'm feeling a little selfish about wanting to be able to spend time with the moms/wives/sig others from N4Ms. I feel like we are becoming a family here. We have such a big PIR with 12 divisions, and I am sure more will continue to find this site, but being at the Ramada with potentially a very large group of people I don't know at all seems a little overwhelming. I totally understand the financial concern of not going with the Ramada, but do we really need much? I will attend no matter where it is, but I will state for the record that my preference is a N4M M&G.
