If there was a grand event, it could be a flat fee per person. Say a meal is 15/person. Attendees pay a reduced rate, with the WGA covering the rest. Individual/family rates could be considered.
With a pot luck, the BOD (again) would be doing all the work, with less time for member chat. Without regular surveys on the site, I am still at a loss at how the BODs know what the members want. so they can best represent them in decision making. At a grand event, the Directors would all split up to be at different tables to get to know the members better.
We did try smaller events around the state several years ago, as kind of a member recruitment drive. It wasn’t much different than 1 large event.
