Discussion: great project; plan of action great – just in case numbers are great; questions raised about attendance goals; worried about too many people since we have a lot of outside lists/publicity; will be based off of tastings per person; suggest not putting date on the glasses; sounds great; publicity – charge for z-spotlight; more concerned about getting Jaycees; coordinate with next year’s publicity; cost will be based off beer cost; Tirnanog is responsible for all serving of alcohol; place will be open; suggest looking for needed supplies here first; total wine is donating all wine for free; great project glad you are running
