| Things are looking-up | Jun 1, 2008 |
We now have 2 volunteers for photography and Ken to take notes. I think that by September we may have about 20 people. Please take a few moments and tell me what would be good place to meet and/or what you would like to see happen.
You may write to me at [email protected]

| Place to meet and mingle | Jun 1, 2008 |
helene, thanks for your note. It should be a great event. I think most of us go to the powwows to meet other language professionals and network and socialize with them. So a restaurant or informal setting like a lounge might serve our purposes well, perhaps somewhere by the waterfront. I am not overly familiar with the area myself, so perhaps others might have concrete suggestions for a venue...

| Venue suggestions | Jun 2, 2008 |
I am thinking that of outdoor locations next to indoor locations in case of rain or if we want to get a drink.
1)Wilmot Creek Park at Leslie and Eglinton, on the North-East corner, there used to be the Inn on the Park, I would have to check what it is called now
2) Docks, which also has a new name now, it's in the East end by Cherry street, a bit pricey but a wonderful entertainment complex.
3) I don't know the West-end but there must be lounges or restaurant by the Park

I think it would be nice if we could meet over a meal (either a picnic or restaurant). I will be coming from out of town so I will probably want to grab a bite to eat anyway. I like the waterfront suggestion but I must confess that I don't know Toronto that well.

Both the Gardiner Musem and the ROM have great restaurants that could work for the event.

The restaurants are good, if rather expensive (I'll have to raise my rates again). What's great about both is that they're right on the subway, which will make them easier to get to.

| another option | Jun 24, 2008 |
the date chosen also coincides with the Cabbagetown festival, so one of the meny restaurants in the area might be an option (and close to home for me)

I concur that the ROM restaurant is great and expensive. I am a member of the ROM so may be able to negotiate a discount and help get reservation. I will probably know for sure if I can attend or not in a week or two

Personally, I like the idea of the ROM, it's got my vote! And, it's on the subway so that may be handy for some.

This restaurant looks like a good choice. Brunch sounds good! I think a more casual atmosphere is better too and perhaps they could accomodate a larger group in a more quiet section to facilitate discussion. What say ye, fellow attendees?

Whenever I have to meet casually with many people, I love RichTree at Brookfield Place (http://www.richtree.ca/). Apart from being central and with easy access, the huge range of options can fit everyone's personal budget, as each one gets what they want using the restaurant's card. Payment is individual and simple, too.
(I'm the "keep it simple" type.)
