Hillsborough-Wade CAC Dinner
2023-12-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Players Retreat, 105 Oberlin Road, 27605
Hi Hillsborough-Wade CAC neighbors,
Our board has decided to cancel the December Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting at the Powell Drive Park facility.
Instead some of us board members are going to meet for dinner at The Players Retreat on Tuesday, December 12th at 7:00 PM. If you would like to join us, please let me know (contact info below) so we can determine how big a table we may need.
It’s a long story about setting the meeting agenda and coordinating people’s schedules. Our CAC board discussed various options, from our typical agenda about city-related topics to just a social event. We decided to move one of our main agenda items to our January meeting. Concerns were expressed that if we didn’t have an interesting agenda, we weren’t going to have a decent turnout during this busy time of year.
By having dinner at the PR we won’t have to work on the logistics of providing food and drinks, plus setting up and cleaning up at Powell Drive. Also we won’t be taking up the parks staff time of accommodating a small crowd. We appreciate having the opportunity to use our City Park facilities, and plan on doing so in the new year (hopefully at the Jaycee Park facility)!
