We have a venue officially reserved!
That may not sound like a big accomplishment, but it feels like one. Columbus has lots of nice venues but few that host 200+ people comfortably and that won't break the bank.
So we've settled on the Elizabeth Bradley Turner Center on CSU's campus.
Here's what I liked about The Turner Center:
- It's not far from where we went to school
- It's centrally located
- We can serve food and alcohol
- Dance floor is included
- It fits 200 - 250 people
- We can bring in our own caterer and choose our own menu (will be heavy appetizers so we can keep the cost manageable)
- They have experience hosting high school reunions (in fact, the Turner Center hosted the Columbus High class of 2000 reunion a few months ago)
- The management has been very communicative and professional
We'll be in the Founder's Hall (first floor)
Main room where we'll set up music, high-top tables, dancing, etc.
Additional space we may set up food in.
Soon we'll be announcing ticket prices and launching a site that makes registering and buying tickets easy.
Stay tuned — and keep your calendars marked for June 11, 2011 (with some casual events the Friday night before — and the day of).
Exciting stuff!
