Richtree @ Brookfield Place Jul 26, 2008

I strongly support Carolina - it's a nice place, with a good choice of what-to-eat-and-drink, and it also has some semi-private rooms, where we can communicate without shouting at each other Though I believe that we'd better book it in advance.

Richtree Jul 27, 2008

Hello - I'm also looking forward to the event! In terms of my "notetaking" capacity, I suppose I'll just bring the laptop and record anything noteworthy, if anyone has another idea of what 'notetaking' would entail, please let me know.

Hello - I'm also looking forward to the event! In terms of my "notetaking" capacity, I suppose I'll just bring the laptop and record anything noteworthy, if anyone has another idea of what 'notetaking' would entail, please let me know. In terms of the location, I think the Richtree suggestion would work nicely. I attend a meeting for German speakers sometimes at a Richtree, it works well for groups (ie the individual payment, price range, large 'seat yourself' section) and it is very central. Are we going to establish any kind of 'agenda' or anything like that? Not that I necessarily think we should..BestCollapse

Let's do it Aug 3, 2008

Hello everyone,
The Richtree seems O.K. to me, I presume the one at 42 Yonge Street. As a phone interpreter I would prefer that we meet later in the day such as 4 or 5 P.M. but if lunch is the preferred time that would be O.K. too, I will try and make reservations once we have agreed on a time.
As for the agenda I thought that we could keep it simple such as.

As for the agenda I thought that we could keep it simple such as.
1) Drop your card in the bowl for the chance to win one of my unknown (For now) paintings
2) Introductions, your specialty, type of work you prefer...whatever
3) Funny translator or interpreter stories
4) Business exchange..........
5) Draw from funniest story and random from cards.

Any other suggestion welcome.
Please respond, as the time is fast approaching.

Meeting time. Aug 3, 2008

Ideally, lunch time would work best for me. I could accommodate something at 5-ish but I can't really stay after 7pm. I could always just go for a while.
Cheers!

I made the reservation for 4 P.M. as some of you have to leave before 7 and others can't come until 5 P.M.
Please make sure to note in your calendar.
