Meeting Description

Who

This is event for all members new and not so new to get acquainted. This is where new members can meet already existing CGSA's in a nice relaxed, social atmosphere over a cocktail or soda and an appetizer of choice if one so chooses :).

Why

Ah, cuz the people are great, the smiles are warm and the laughter is contagious. It's hard to explain us CGSA's, you just have join us and learn for yourself. Bottom line, we're awesome!

Organized by

"I'll be goofy one, wearing a CGSA shirt, wearing a CGSA pin, carrying a CGSA tote bag and more than likely be the one looking for a place to hang a CGSA banner...think I'll be hard to find?? :)"
--CG Sherri (Various Event Organizer & Meeter)

Details

We've had some requests to check out Dukes...so we will be holding our new member bi-monthly cocktail hour here next month.

Dukes is in the Francisco Grande Resort. Head West on Florence Blvd and you'll come across Francisco Grande on the right hand side. Enter the main entrance facing Florence Blvd (which is actually AZ 84 Gila Bend Hwy out west). The resort is approximately 5 miles West of Pinal Ave.

I've talked with the manager and they are expecting us :)

Sherri

P.S. We are still looking for that perfect nitch of a happy hour for this bi-monthly event. We've tried McMasher's (that's a definite no at least for our new member socials) and we tried Mr. K's (now Cabo's, this needed work as well but has potential). We're giving Dukes a whirl this month and will be trying the local bar in Cottonwood Lanes Bowling Alley in July. If anyone else has any ideas on where a great place would be to hold these meeting, come forward :).

    To clarify...Joanne honed in on two gentlemen that were associated with the new Daisy plant on Thornton. At the end of the night one them (Scott) joined our table. Shortly after he joined us, another hotel patron (Paul) came out to smoke a cigarette and before he knew it, he was a part of our table as well. FYI, those willing to stay late...the party always gets going :). Sherri, Don, Paul, Justin, Scott & Marie lasted until 11:30! Sandy hung in there almost as long ;).

    I will be there but probably around 7 since I'm going to my bro's for his mother-in-law's b-day and dinner at 5pm. Maybe I can talk her into coming out for a drink afterward!

    Had to cancel for tonight. Have too much work to do before I head to Phoenix for 3 days. I am sorry about this.

    It's not a big place. It will be easy to find each other. Even when full you can see from one end of the bar to the other. Probably holds 50 max. Fun place though, I have a Yahoo group that meets there once a month during the summer.
