Brenda and I have attended every convention banquet since the first wine & cheese event held at the old Aladdin. These annual social gatherings are more than just getting togther for a meal. We enjoy the social atmosphere and comaradie among friends that we have not seen since the previous year. We like to hear the notable guest speakers and listen to various club reports and presentations. This will be the first sit-down banquet that some previous banquet guests have requested in the past. The BOD is to be congratulated for trying it out and reviewing what the overall response is by the attendees for future considerations. Just this individual member's candid opinion.
