Glad you called them Roger, I think this could be a good location if we can work something out. The location is good and it is in kind of a 'dark' area of the valley. They have 2 nice big fields next to the parking lot that might be perfect and I do think it fits with their overall theme. Unfortunately I won't be able to make the board meeting on Thursday but if I can help with anything let me know. It would be good PR for both organizations. Bob
Bob, I didn't think that there is a charge to get into Wheeler Farm
and there isn't. I called them and talked with there director (Shari)
and asked if they would be interested in persuing this and they
sounded thrilled.
There are several options that we could consider that might include a
no charge event in the parking lot or other location within the farm
to a class and star party where we would get 75% of the fee for the
class and they would get 25%.
They thought that the idea of a star party fits very well with their
concept of promoting life on the farm and would be very interested in
persuing this as an option.
I told Shari that I would talk this over at our board meeting and then
perhaps we could meet with her in the coming weeks to discuss options.
At any rate, she sounded like this would be a great enhancement and
draw for their facility.
