COMPLETED (Until next year) - Electronics/Microcontrollers/Computers Meetup?

[MicroNut]

I'll confirm it tomorrow. I'll post it sometime tomorrow late morning. I just talked to Terry and Jim and Jim said he should be able to make it. Terry hasn't said he would come.

Any comments about Terry's, Jim's or your wives?

I just reserved Saturday September 27th at the church for us. Just let me know the timeframe. I have a key so I'll be in charge of opening and closing the church.  If there are any questions about what is available for lodging, food, stores, etc. in Meadville either PM me or post on this thread and I'll answer it.

I didn't think of asking about Jim or Terry's wives. I'll check with them. Mine probably will only be at the church briefly to take care of setting up the media presentation for Sunday's service.

I was thinking depending on the number of people if we all donate a share of the $100 donation since it isn't required up front. I'll get it to the janitor the next day.

Also granz, from a previous post I see you have an artistic eye. If you can do a flyer sometime within a month of the activity that would be great. I'll use it on the church's website, bulletin and newsletter and post it at the church and at a couple of stores in the area.

Just let me know my share and I will send it via PayPal, Venmo or check. I'm still looking into contributing to food and / or snacks.

[MicroNut]

I prefer checks. I don't have any accounts with PayPal, Zello or Venmo. I also will be wiling to help with snacks and food.

Since the date has been locked in, we should start a list of snacks / drinks so we're not all bringing the same thing.

So Sept 27/26?

I never thought of myself as being artistic, other than CAD, and coding, but I guess that I am a bit artistic.

PDF draft of a flier has been sent to Chris by PM. Since it includes pics, logo and name, of Savage///Circuits, I don't want to post it until Chris approves it. (I really should not need to get approval for the images of GranzTronix, LLC - if you can't plagiarize yourself, who can you plagiarize?  )

Sounds good granz. I booked the room at the church for the 27th. I can look into the evening of the 26th for setup and maybe a get together at a local restaurant. Perkins Restaurant, specializing in breakfast foods, (next to the Holiday Inn) has a backroom for big groups but I'm not sure if they do walk ins or we need to rent it. Also there is Hoss's Steak house nearby and they do large groups as well.

It's not local (20 miles away) there is an Amish style restaurant that does family style dinners for groups of 25 or more with reservations.

Either Perkins, or Hoss's, would do - the 20 miles for the Amish place sounds a bit far, especially after traveling from Greensburg. Maybe the Perkins would be best, since I (and others) will probably be staying at the Holiday Inn. Also, the breakfast (for the "after-party") sounds like a great idea.

Could you look into reserving the room there, please?

@MicroNut, A few questions:

• Are the two classroom pics (Class Room.jpg & Class Room 2.jpg) different views of the same room?
• In Main Entrance.jpg it looks like the accordion door on the right is to (one of) the classroom(s). Can the accordion door be opened so that entrance area can be part of the expo area?
• In Meeting Area.jpg there is another accordion door in the rear of the photo. Does that open to the  classroom?
• What is the size of the largest room, with all accordion doors open (that are allowed to be open)?
• What are the dimensions of that largest room?
• Can multiple areas (I.E. both classrooms - if there are two) be used for the expo?

Thanks

Here is a picture of the flier that I currently have:

and here is the full-sized (8.5" x 11") PDF file for that:

Please let me know what you think about how it looks, any errors, etc.

There is only one class room and 3 sides of it is the accordion separators. That whole area can be opened for use. As you come into the main entrance the classroom is immediately to the left then to the right a small storage room. Further down on the left is the kitchen, double doors to the lower level and another set of double doors to the worship area. if you go straight from the main entrance the coffee area is to the right on the opposite side. The door straight ahead on the opposite side from the main entrance is the janitorial room with the Women's room on the right and the Men's on the left. I'll ask the Building and Grounds committee if they have a blueprint and I'll crop out the room and post it here. For security reasons I cannot post the whole floor plan.

A layout of the room(s) would be great. By all means, let's not start off with a security violation (not a great way to start a relationship with your Church. )
