No Mid-West Awards Banquet?

I don't see one on the CCS website calendar so I guess there isn't going to be one this year for last season?

It is the planning, Packers in the playoffs has effected location and date availability.

aaahhh..... Just schedule it somewhere in Ft. Worth.  No post-season conflicts down there.

Can we have it at a venue where everyone can sit in the same area and hear?

Boy, aren't you a trouble maker.

P.s. The last year I went, one of our group sat at a "stack of boxes". Moral of the story, the Banquet fee can not buy you dignity (or necessarily a table) .

How about it be held in Madison this year! :)

We could always have it at Lake Delavan Resort again. I'm sure they would welcome us back!

If the new owner actually opens it up.

It's never my intent, but the last few weeks, I seem to making things really hard on myself.  It was good to see friends in the off season at last years banquet.  But being my first banquet, I couldn't really enjoy the event for what it was.  Up where we were sitting we couldn't see nor hear the speeches.  I've got a good relation at a venue in the Chicago burbs we use for other events.  If we wanted to do an event from about 3:00 PM -7:00 or 8:00 PM, it would work well.  As the evening gets later, the place opens up to the public and live bands.  We're always welcome to stay, but speeches and privacy would be pretty minimal after that time. Call me if we'd like to look into it.

According to "the boss" .. Mid-West bqt will probably be end-of-February or first-of-March.  Several of the key MW CCS Staff members will be back north by then.
