The next monthy meeting of the Scenic City Volks Folks will be held on Monday, January 17th at 7:00 PM. We meet at Wally's Restaurant on Ringgold Road in East Ridge.  Visitors are always welcome!

There's a lot to discuss and plan about our upcoming show. Please attend if you'd like to get involved.

Our meeting is tonight! This is another important one.

You need to post that every month Russ!  It sure packed the room tonight!   

Who decided that?

My opinion. We should not move the monthly meeting place. If we continue to have as many people as last night to show up for meetings, the room at Shoney's will not accommodate that many people comfortably. Also, us meeting at Wally's has been established for a while now and that is were people expect to find us on the monthly meeting times. If the committees want to meet somewhere else, thats fine, but lets not change our regular monthly meeting place.

We decided to give it a try for one month and see if everyone likes it better than
Wally's.  On Monday's the buffet is only $7.99.  It was very clean, the food was hot, they didn't let the food sit for long, and there was a large selection to choose from.  For those who are not buffet enthusiasts, there is a fairly large menu, all resonably priced.  The back room seats 45 comfortably (per the manager) and can fit more in if necessary, same as Wally's.  One of the biggest issues, besides the food, is that at this time of the year, Wally's closes at 8pm which only gives us an hour or so.

If it's posted on the forum and in the emails that go out, it should be fine.  It would be nice to have another option.

If there is a strong objection to trying this one time from a LOT of people, so be it.  I would ask that we give it a shot.  If not, I'm sure Mike will call her and UNreserve the room.   

While I'm not a fan of moving the meeting, I will say that IF the club decides to move, Shoney's might not be a bad choice, because if I were a newbie and I accidentally showed up to "where the meetings used to be" (Wally's) and I got stumped and walked back out to my car, I would see all the VWs at Shoney's across the parking lot.

Having said that, I see no problem with the Wally's location. Sure, it closes at 8pm, but I don't really want to sit through a meeting much longer than that. I think all the fun occurs before the meeting and in the parking lot afterwards. Besides, they have never really rushed us out or turned the lights out on us; kinda the nice part about supporting a local private business. And if we are trying to avoid food complaints, moving from one buffet to the next will never solve food complaints. I agree with eating elsewhere and attending just for the meetings; I do.

I know i am not the one to talk, as meetings are few and far between for me due to schedule problems, but I will say that I second all of that.

Lets stop the banner back and forth. We'll scratch the Shoneys and stay at Wallys. I didn't know it was going to be a big deal. I personally don't like the idea of using a place and not eating there. I don't think that is right. Lets not waist energy on such little things.

Thanks
