I always like an activity -- I like to include kids too if that's OK with 
others

I'm fine with including the rest of the office -- that would probably limit 
any activity we would do -- the other business units would have to agree to 
accept any liability to cover last minute back outs (like ENA two years 
ago).  It would also maker the event very BIG -- so I'd be more happy with 
just GA - but I can go either way.

We should include Marcie, Paul, Carl, Roger and Peter and families -- if they 
want to come 

School nights are bad -- even without kids -- so the 7th doesn't work.  We're 
also supposed to be in Houston on the 7th and 8th --so the 8th doesn't work.  
I vote for the following weekend -- fri or Sat

Subject: That Joyous Time of Year

Well, it's upon us again and that means X-Mas party.  

Joseph and I have begun (barely) to plan for this year's festivities.  But 
before we get to far along, tried and true democratic (small "d") principles 
call for a wee bit of polling.  

Because we're already in the middle of October we need your responses 
pronto.  If we don't receive your responses by COB Thursday, then democracy's 
out the window, and good ol' dictatorship takes over.  

Of course, it will be difficult to grant everyone's wishes, but all 
suggestions will be given great (and equal) weight.  Here are the questions:

Would you prefer just dinner, or dinner plus an activity?

Joseph and I are leaning toward dinner and an activity, but wanted to hear 
from other folks.  If yes, Joseph has come up with a couple of very fun ideas 
for an activity but suggestions are greatly encouraged and welcome.  Same 
goes for a restaurant (understanding that the choice of activity may 
influence where we eat).  Sue has put in her vote for Fleur de Lys.

Should we try to organize the event with the rest of the SF office (i.e., EES 
and ENA) or confine it to GA?
Should we expand to include Western GA or keep it to SFGA?
We choose for dates the 7th or 8th or 14th or 15th of December.  What's your 
preference.  Is there a day that just won't work?

Joseph, if I've missed anything, please tack on.

Best,
Jeff
