Banquet Committee: Dr. Charlae Davis, Wendy Flora, Tobi Hanna-Davies, Rick Johnson, Vanessa Miller, Amy Peterson

What a way to start the new year!  We have just heard that our March 12 Banquet speaker cannot come after all, and we haven’t been able to find a strong replacement! However, we are very excited that Dr. J. Louis Felton, co-founder of ISAAC, would love to come in May or June to be our keynote speaker and celebrate the 15th anniversary of ISAAC with us. The Banquet Committee recommends postponing the banquet, and finding a new date in May or June, and possibly a new venue.  The Leadership Board makes the decision on January 19:

ISAAC Leadership Board Meeting (All Welcome!)
Tuesday, January 19, 7:00 pm (postponed from second Tuesday every month)
First Congregational Church UCC
Fellowship Hall downstairs
345 W. Michigan Ave., at S. Park St.
Kalamazoo, MI 49007

If the Leadership Board votes to postpone, everyone’s ideas will be needed for:

• Other good locations and other possible styles of event to consider
• Ways to increase Banquet revenues and reduce expenses
• People you know who could be “door openers” for corporate sponsors
• Ways to make the Banquet easier for all of us to promote
