Planning Future Inter-Collegiate Events

This survey is designed to help our local inter-collegiate alumni group determine the most appealing and convenient meeting times and places for monthly cocktail-and-conversation gatherings.

We also want to explore interest in adding new and different events for Northern Nevada and the Sierra alumni; you’ll find that topic explored on the second page of the survey. There are 13 questions in all and we estimate it may take you five to seven minutes to respond.

We will do our best to implement suggestions beginning in May, 2014.

Question Title

* 6. We are now ordering appetizers (with a donation jar to help offset the cost) at monthly cocktail gatherings. Given that some venues have favorable appetizer pricing between 5:00pm and 6:00pm, it may be desirable to shift our meeting time to take advantage of happy hour.

5:00pm to 7:00pm

5:30pm to 7:30pm
