Steve63130 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Just a suggestion, but I think you have to do a little more footwork (so to speak) than that. People won't commit to a vague idea. They need more specifics. So here's what you need to do: 1. Select a date several weeks in the future, so people have a chance to plan for it. Don't conflict or compete with big sports events, local happenings, or other events that are likely to diminish your attendance. 2. Select a place. If you plan lunch or dinner, check with the restaurant management, tell them about our odd hobby (wear your shoes to show him or her an example), make sure there are no problems with it, and that your guests will be welcome. If you're just going to meet at your house, you'll need to make sure it's ok with anyone else living there. If you plan to meet at a mall or go shoe shopping, you need to decide where and when. In my opinion, the restaurant is best. Everyone eats, so why not make a nice social event out of it? Then go shoe shopping to wear off the calories! 3. Once you have a plan, then go ahead and post the announcement. Ask people to PM you if you want them to commit to attending, so you can get a good count. There will often be cancellations as other things come up, so expect that. And sometimes people get cold feet (so to speak, again) and decide not to go at the last minute. Expect that, too. The more homework you do, the better the event will be. We've had several successful heel meets in Canton, Ohio, because Johnie did the footwork and made the arrangements. It wasn't a big demand on his time, but he set the groundwork in motion and it came off well. You can do it, too. Just think it through, plan it, and announce it. People will attend and have fun. If I lived closer to Philly, I'd attend for sure! Good luck! Steve
sapoa Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Would love to see a Phila meet come together .... and would love to attend
Steve63130 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Well, there's a committee of two so far! Anyone else interested in putting this event together? Step up to the plate! Steve
Heelster Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I'll be in Kennet square (sp) about Sept 21,22,23. Don't know what all my arrangements are yet, but I might (slim chance) be around
sapoa Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I think I could make one of those dates work .. do you have a site in mind??
sapoa Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 If I can find a spot are you interested in meeting for Happy Hour heels??
rxrenesis Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 sapoa, When & where? rx If the shoe fits BUY IT http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/rxrenesis/Shoe%20Shots/
Heelster Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 If I can find a spot are you interested in meeting for Happy Hour heels?? Will see what I can do. Don't know if I will have a traveling companion from work with me or not. If I can slip away, it's a possibility. Kinda have to be a bit carefull about what I do around co-workers as they are no where near as open-minded as most outside of this hickville area I live in.
sapoa Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 RX That week won't work for me ..maybe sometime in October in the Greater PHL area??
Heelster Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Hey - - I'm in Glen Mills right now. What about Thursday evening 9/22

Heelster Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Not a problem - - Just don't get over there very often.
