So as we're trying to decide what to do about a banquet this year, I guess the first thing we need to know is "how many people will come, and what is their price threshold?" We're hoping to do something within the first couple weekends in November.
In the past we've charged as much as $60 per person (which included the banquet facilitites, food, etc...) but I think attendance wasn't what it could have been because it was cost prohibitive for many.
With that in mind, we'd like to try to do something more in the $20 - $25 range to incent more people to participate. Here's the kicker though...
You can't get a venue, food, av equipment, etc... for only $25 a head - so we're considering dropping the food as a requirement. If you want to eat, you could order off a limited menu that the facility provided, we could do a pot luck, you could eat before and just hit the cash bar, etc...
First things first though, I need you to answer in the poll "If the Banquet tickets cost "x" I will DEFINITELY attend!". Please click on your HIGHEST budget, not your lowest.
