SURVEY: Feedback Requested

Arlington Supper Club Members:

Before I posted any more events here I’d like to get some feedback from you.

It’s been more than three years since the supper club began, so maybe it’s time to re-evaluate some of our programs. In addition to the suppers, we’ve tried a number of other regular events – movie nights, Sunday breakfasts, happy hours, book club, etc. – to varying degrees of success. Lately our attendance has dropped significantly at some of these events – just the summer time conflicts, or is something more going on?

I have created a GoogleDocs survey to gather some information for planning some of these events. Additionally, please post in the COMMENTS section for this entry additional critiques, suggestions, etc. to help me plan events that will meet your needs -  places or activities you'd like to see or do with our group, as well as things we're doing you'd wish we do differently. All of these comments can be made anonymously, so feel free to say what's on your mind. (To add an anonymous comment, click on the COMMENT link, enter your comment in the space provided, choose ANONYMOUS from the identity section, enter the letter/number combo required, and hit submit.)

Please take a few minutes to let me know how the club can better meet your needs.

Thanks!

James
