Title: AMG Meet and Greet Menu Poll
Post by: AMG Coordinator on July 16, 2008, 01:42:59 pm

Please choose one of the menus below to be served at this year's meet and greet.  Unfortunately, everyone will have to have the same dinner so the majority will win. 

The first 2 menus are designed as full service sit down.  The third menu is designed as buffet style.

Cost includes 15% value and 15% service.  I have also included $2 to assist with the rental of AV equipment.

Ciao,
Dennis

I voted.  It wouldn't let me vote twice, though (once for me and once for the wee one).  So, just add another to your tally for confirmed meet and greet.

Mum

edited to add that we leave 4wks from today - but who's counting?  LOL

Thom and I both voted (as individuals, once we remembered his login).  Come on everyone else, let's get on board and support Senor Dennis on his fantastic efforts to make AMG 08 a huge success.

See you soon, R&T

Santiago is not a forum member, but he votes for option 3, the Mexican Buffet.

Voted!  Out of curiosity, is this a 'US style buffet' (all you can eat?  ;) )?

I voted for the buffet....even if it isn't all you can eat.  Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Given that we're staying in La Zona Rosa, if you're still hungry I'm sure we can round up another Mexican or two for you to eat.

Thank you to everyone who voted in a timely manner. 

I have informed the chef our group is going with the Mexican buffet.  Typically, they don't arrange buffets for groups less than 50 persons.  The chef has made an exception in our case.  That's why the below request requires your immediate attention.

To ensure there is enough food on the buffet, I need to know exactly how many people are going to be in attendance.  It has come to my attention there are people who have booked outside of the group.  Therefore, the rooming list I have does not give me a true reflection of attendance. 

If you haven't posted your intent to be part of the meet and greet in this thread yet, please do so asap.  Even if you already voted.

Ciao,
Dennis

I've already voted (#1....:'() but this is let you know I will be in attendence.

to be honest, anyone who is part of the group, whether they've notified you or not, I'm sure will be at the Meet and Greet.  It's the biggest event of the season.  So if you're uncertain go with the number of rooms booked.

I voted and I'll be there.  We may want to send PM's to other people to make sure they follow up here.  I'm sure others who have already voted may not check back in here, thinking that they did what they need to do.

I'm more concerned about those who may have booked outside of the group allotment and remained silent in the forums.  I would hate to tell the chef to prepare food for 20 people and then have 25-30 show up.

I voted for the buffet and will be in attendance.  Less than a month away now.

Hey Dennis

I've already voted.

I suspect it's safe to go ahead and guarantee the room for the required minimum of 20 people. If for some bizare reason we don't hit that number then we may have to ask members to pay a couple of dollars extra to make up the difference.  But again I seriously(in fact I'm certain) doubt that is going to happen.

Regarding the issue of members who apparently have booked outside the group but who have not publically announced (can you tell us how many?  I'm dieing of curiosity.), well at some point we just have to move forward based upon the information we have.   Has the catering manager given you a deadline for the "final" count?  That seems to me to be when we have to truly worry about the actual number.  .

Thank you again for all of your hard work.  I'll see you in about 4 weeks buddy.

RAB   ;D

(Who will also be there "with cocktail in hand"  you can bank on it!)

Way ahead of you.  Everything was confirmed earlier today for 23 people according to the rooming list.

And at this point, I would like to repeat something that RAB said to me in our very first phone conversation, before we met in Montreal, when I said I hoped I wouldn't be delayed by drinking with pilots in the airport bar:

WHORE ALERT!!! WHORE ALERT!!!

Hello Everyone.  Just a reminder.  The meet and greet is $49 USD per person.  I have a meeting with the Fiesta Americana Banquet Manager on Thursday and will need to collect 4,900 pesos from everyone as soon as possible.

Who are we paying and are we paying in dollars or in pesos?  Does it matter?  Check or credit card or paypal possible?  Or do you mean cold, hard Mexican (or American) cash?

Gary

Ha!  I was just re-reading my post.  I'm surprised nobody caught on.  For those paying for the meet and greet in pesos it's only 497 pesos.  Nt 4900!  An easy way to convert is it's almost 10 mxn pesos to $1
