[CoLoCo] FC meeting outcomes, ideas, etc...

[siblog]

Ya I tried to send the information that I received from D&B but it bounced
and is awaiting approval.....I think. Basically two areas sounded good

    *Viewpoint*
This space is located off of our Viewpoint Bar and comes complete with 4 –
24" televisions,
3 – world-class pocket billiards tables and a championship shuffleboard
table.
All tables are easily transformed into dining/buffet tables with our
custom-made tabletops & linens.
Space seats 20 - 55; Reception style seating up to 75. Buffet Service for
groups of 20 +
Perfect room for reception or buffet dinner
$40.00 Hourly Rental

 *The East Wing*
The semi-private alcove of our dining room is a secluded space that feels
like a warm and inviting banquet hall and can accommodate up to 85 Guests
comfortably. Revenue minimums apply.

I don't know if they have a projector and wifi either.

I would have to agree that Gordon Biersch sounds better
