I see that we still have only 14 members on this list, which means
that not all those who attended the meeting have registered. If you
know anyone who is not a member of this list, but would like to be
kept current on the news, please relay the message to them.
First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who
attended - for your support and enthusiasm, plus of course the time
and expense (by the way, after adding up all the costs and
contributions, I ended up with a profit of $6.85... so we are already
ahead of the game for the next meeting :-)
Second, as it turns out, Henry did send some materials to me although
(apparently, due to another slowdown of the Rogers e-mail servers) I
received them too late. Here is his letter to all of you that was
supposed to have been read out loud during the meeting:

But I know for sure now that I won't be able to attend. I suppose having a powwow so close to the holidays was not a good thing after all. Yuri, please let me know what my share is, and I'll send you a cheque. Have fun!

Did Dunn's require a minimum number for the $13.50 flat charge?

Anybody who does English-German technical translations, please contact me ASAP!!!!

Since we are not going to have anywhere near 40 persons as originally anticipated, perhaps we should meet later? If only 10-15 people show up, there won't be much to do at the library for 3-4 hours. Why don't we set the meeting to start at 5 PM and people can come any time between 2 and 5? I'll be there at 2 anyway but the rest of you might want to come later.

Sorry, I cannot attend because i Thoght it was on friday; Unfortunately I cannot be there due to conflicting family duties.
I hope one of the topic of discussion is about a minimum in and a maximum for Proz member, offered when they bid for jobs; some of the bids are so low that makes one wonder what people would do just to get a job. Yury, I admire you for organizing this meeting and I am sure to attend the next one.

Yuri, a number of things have popped up, but I still hope to make it to the powwow. If I should not be able to attend, just let me know what my share would be and I'll pay you all the same. You did a great job organizing the whole thing, and I don't intend to leave you out in the cold just because of some last-minute things on my end.

Post title: IMPORTANT CORRECTION

Laura just corrected me as to the amount: the $100 deposit at Dunn's will be counted toward the food bill, so the only amount that needs to be covered in addition to the $13.50 per person is the room fee of $95. Thus, once again based on 20 persons attending, the charge will be half of what I said earlier (i.e. $5) plus the meal. Sorry for the confusion :-)

Hi everyone,
Those who have confirmed (or cancelled) please diregard this message.
So far, out of the 48 people who expressed an interest, less than a dozen actually confirmed attendance. We are all busy people, but please understand that certain commitments were made and I HAVE to know who's coming for sure ahead of time.
JUST A YES OR NO WILL SUFFICE :-)
THANKS!
NOTE: there will be no PNS interviews this time around (unless I hear otherwise from the management), but I will be doing ID verification, so those who wish to be counted, please bring your driver's license and/or passport. Assuming at least 20 people show up, the cost will be $10 per person, plus any food at Dunn's (as of right now, it's a flat rate of $13.50 each)

I still have not heard anything about the organization of the PNS interviews.

- script???
- number of tapes???
- when/where? (at the library, at the deli, ...)
- overall procedure

We're kind of running out of time here.

Post title: Latest news

Hi everyone,
All those who expressed an interest in attending the powwow: We meet at the North York Central Library, 5120 Yonge Street. It is located right on the Yonge Street subway line, the station is called North York Centre (1 stop before Finch). We were assigned Meeting Room No. 1, it's up the stairs from the main lobby of the library, on the 2nd floor. We will get access to the room at 2:00 PM and it's ours until 6 PM. The meeting will start between 3 and 4 PM, as soon as enough people are present, but if someone could come earlier to help me set up the room, it would be a very nice.

If you can't make it to the Library before 6 PM, the powwow will continue at Dunn's Montreal-style Deli across the street (you can see its windwos on the second floor of an indoor mall called Empress Walk on the east side of Yonge Street). The reservation was made by Laura Molinari.

NOTE: The cross street for both locations is called Park Home Ave., if you get lost - look for the Novotel on Park Home, its back door opens into the same mall as the Library.

Finally, if you have questions or problems on the day of the meeting, my cell phone number is [phone removed] .

See you all there!
Yuri

This question goes to the organizer (ProZ moderator) and/or Henry: how are those of us who have volunteered going to handle the PNS interviews? Will we receive the script? How many tapes do we need (all interviews on one or two tapes, or a separate tape for each candidate)?

Yuri is still working on the library booking, but since many are asking for more info, I can tell you that we are confirmed for Dec. 15 at 6:00 pm at Dunn's Famous Deli (Empress Walk-5095 Yonge st., which is across from Mel Lastman Square -North York Centre Subway stop)

At the very least you can plan for that time and location, further details about meeting at library coming soon.
