I realize I got started late in the local NANA due to being out of town, but upon my arrival back I could not wait for the get togethers expecting meetings like last years. During the many posts about meetings it has come to my attention that many meetings do not work for people's schedules, due to work, children or like me a mother now living with them.
Last evening at a small NANO get together we discussed putting something together that is convenient for more people. So here is the proposal. While I have no problem showing up at 2 for the end of the month party and hanging out until late evening so everyone can stop by, most people are not able to do that.
So what is best for everyone on Dec 2nd? Afternoon, early evening, evening etc?
Last years party was a blast held in a member's home, with a DJ, a pitch in and the member's wife a chef. The evening was spent laughing and having a great time. I would love to have that kind of camaraderie again. It doesn't have to be in someone's home, but just the laughter and fun is what is needed.
I hope I am not stepping on toes here, but trying to maximize the end of month party so more of us are able to attend. If I have to I will sit there all day and into the night, but am hoping for something that works for the majority of us.
Suggestions, ideas, time frame? Anyone

I was there last night, and I agree, since I work in the world of finance related to retail, I am unable to just get time off to hang out on a Sunday (one of our busiest days due to holidays coming up) so I would much rather meet later on Sunday or even the following weekend. I also have family in town til that Sunday morning so I am unable to go out on Sat night for a party.
I say the few of us who still hit up BnN on 95 and Rainbow still go there.
I also don't think it's fair to pick a bar for people to go to since we do have member of this group who are NOT 21 and can not enter bars, or there may be people who do not drink and would not feel comfortable in a bar. Just a thought.

Well it looks like the three of us are the ones hoping for a Dec 2nd evening get together. So where should be go, and are those of us who can make it go to the afternoon one too?
