Just a couple of FYIs. We set it at 3:00 pm at Crisper’s request — they didn’t want a large group interfering with the lunch crowd. People showed up when they could and left when they had to. We were never able to get an exact number of how many would attend. Crisper’s did not require food and drink orders and we could arrange our own seating indoors or out, depending on the weather.

It sounds like Habaneros will be seating us and will expect a head count. This could be difficult. Some will probably balk at ordering anything.

I hope you can restart the meet and greet. They really were fun and it is nice to put faces to names. I would say day, time and location need not be the same as it was. Just find a restaurant that can accommodate an unknown number of folks, will let them rearrange tables and has both indoor and outdoor seating. Just make sure that the day and time are the same each month so folks can have a monthly schedule. Good luck!
