[Nfb-greeley] New Perspective's Expo Date

Fri Mar 29 16:58:32 UTC 2013

I do not have a strong opinion one way.  There are definitely pros and cons
on both sides so really at this point I think it boils down to good
marketing on either date.  We should probably choose the time that works
best for the chapter and work really hard to get the word out and talk up
this event to everyone we can.

I do think that we should decide soon so that we if it is in the summer we
can market to the students who are still in school this Spring who will not
be here and if it is in the Fall we can market the event in the summer so
that some of the students who only have class in the summer will know about
the event.

Melissa, after we have discussed the pros and cons from each side on the
list you could probably pose the question and ask people to respond with a
simple summer or fall.  I love the current discussion but once all the
points have come out from each side and we aren't really seeing anything
new then we can see what everyone is thinking and go from there.  Of
course, you could wait until the April meeting but since it is so close to
the end of April yo would be pushing it to start marketing during this
semester if we decide to go with the summer date.

These are just a few thoughts for you guys to consider.  Keep up the good
work and discussion.

Best Wishes

Jess
