I know it's a long way off, but I need to get an estimate of how many rooms we might need to reserve. I'm planning to be there. It would be at the same place as we met last March, Country Inn & Suites, 400 Riverplace, Menona, March 10-12, 2017. If you think you are likely to attend AND will want a discounted room, please post here, or pm me. Thanks!

Posting here does NOT obligate anyone to anything. Just trying to get an estimate. 8-)

Probably be there or at least that's what I'm thinking at the moment. It might only be for one day though but there's a lot of time between now and then to nail it down.

I should add that a big reason this matters is that to get the meeting room, we need to show them QJers will book with them. The rate they are offering is $115 per night for up to 4 in a room, the same rate they are offering to Canoecopia. If you think there is a probability you will attend and want a room, please post. Again, it is not a commitment. I can't predict the future either.

This is not a dinner count. That will come in later January.

Anyone else? I'm planning to talk to them in October to reserve the meeting room and a block of rooms. The more we have, the cheaper the deal...

After discussing this with a couple of board members, we are not going to book a meeting room, or do a block.

We will encourage QJERS to book rooms at the Country Inn & Suites, 400 Riverplace, Menona, WI; March 10-12, 2017. If you visit Canoecopia.com, you can get the discount rate of $115 per night. This is a good deal, and you get free breakfast, free wifi, etc. I have already booked there. If you book there, please post here.

We will plan to do pizzas for whomever can be there Friday evening. Details later.

If we stay at same place, we can also socialize over breakfast bar Saturday and Sunday mornings. This provides at least 3 opportunities to connect with fellow QJERS.

Saturday dinner plans will be announced next year. We hope you will plan to make tracks to Madtown, March 10-12, for our annual rendezvous.
