Rooms Reserved

Thank you all for your input.

I have reserved a party room at Valentino's on 70th and Van Dorn for 4:30pm on Saturday, July 18. We can have that as long as we need it, but that's the latest time we can reserve for arrival. I figure some of us can make it by that time and the rest can straggle in as they're able. It's a buffet so everyone can eat at their leisure. Anyone who wishes to arrive earlier in the day can meet at the Fun Center for lunch and play time.

Sunday we have a conference room reserved for the whole day in the Peter Kiewit Lodge at Mahoney State Park. Lunch will be at 1:00pm in a buffet style so if people are a little later coming from church it should still work fine. Mahoney is about 30 minutes from Lincoln.

The aquatic center at Mahoney is open from 12-5 and 6-8.

Hope this works for everyone. I'm not completely locked in yet...I have reserved the times but not signed anything on Mahoney yet, so let me know if something is a problem for anyone.

Possible Venue

I received two responses to the previous post. Neither was in favor of the Fun Center.

I have checked into Mahoney State Park. The 18th is not available. We can rent a conference room on Sunday the 19th in the Peter Kiewit Lodge for ~$120 for the day plus $10-$15 per person for catered meal. We are not allowed to bring food into the Lodge.

An outdoor covered space is $50 and we can bring our own food. It's also only available on Sunday the 19th. Remember it's July in Eastern Nebraska. Think 95 degrees and 80% humidity.

I'll wait for responses from at least five people before reserving one or the other. If I don't get five responses in a timely manner then lets all just plan on meeting at Valentino's at 70th and Van Dorn at noon on the 18th. We'll wing it from there.

Perhaps we're just not that into each other. :)
