I worry that we have left this a little bit too late, and that we have not been giving Herr Gemkow enough support.
At this point, I understand that we have the following plans:
- Coffee to be provided by the University, as they have good high powered coffee makers.
This would be nice.
- Rolls of some sort to be bought and brought in separately by local volunteers, whether that's Michael, Andi, or Brian is not yet clear. The thinking is that most folks will have breakfast at their hotel, so the rolls/donuts are a 'nice to have', not a 'have to have'.
I agree - everyone was told in advance to eat at the hotel. It seems almost everyone is staying at the hotel.
I get into town on Tuesday, I may be able to help with some of this. Perhaps we can find out who the hotel gets their stuff from and order a little extra?
- Lunch is still open. I think if we just ordered 30 pizzas delivered along with some soda that would suffice. I don't know if there are more elaborate plans than that, or if it would be okay for us to have pizza in the meeting rooms.
Yes - pizza for lunch is fine.
- Dinner Saturday I think we're nearly done on; I understand that Hans-Ulrich is making a reservation for us on Saturday.
Yes, I believe we have dinner on Saturday worked out. For Friday, I think it should just be informal. I'll be in town early, so I'll try to find somewhere that could hold 30+ people. Maybe we can split it between a few different restaurants in the same area.
It seems to me that if we could have someone to volunteer to take care of rolls (there are two days, so maybe two volunteers), and if someone could volunteer to figure out lunch, that we would maybe have this covered.
If someone knows a bakery near the University, I can stop in on Tuesday or Wednesday and place the order. I could also wander around and figure this out.
Thoughts? Comments?
Jeremy, are you going to bring Mandy? :) That would make organizing it easier.
