Stew, no problem with beer and other beverages. No problem with pizza or other restaurant food, or snacks. When I originally negotiated the deal, they wanted the exclusive rights to cater our food. I asked them what that would look like? They said it would be breakfast food like their morning buffet. I objected to that because I knew it would go over like a lead balloon. I told them that if I was not part of a group, I would feel free to to order delivery from a local restaurant. That happens all the time. They saw my point.

I asked them about doing a potluck and they said absolutely not. They cited a Wisconsin law that forbids it due to concerns over food safety. Anyway, I got them to agree to let us order restaurant food, bring in beverages and snacks. Since I signed the contract, I would like to obey their policies. The free room compensates for any meal expenses IMO.

Next year someone else can make the arrangements. Cool Before I made these arrangements I ran it past the informal planning team and got agreement. Cool

Next year we can book elsewhere if that’s what people want. Or again here. Their shuttle service will save parking fees and hassle. I enjoy getting dropped and picked up at the door. 2 more days to book. Cool

We are coming for all three days of Canoecopia, and will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express.  We would like to join you for dinner on Friday, but won't get there until after Jerry's presentation Friday.  We are happy to pay our share, or bring something if that is appropriate.  Just let me know what is needed.
