The "Well at the World's End" is an adventure fantasy published in 1896 and considered to be an inspiration to J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis.
Now of course neither I nor anyone I know has ever been on an adventure to The Well at the World's End.
But some of us did sally forth recently on a Journey to
The Rally at Linn County's End
Myself, I am not one to Vote for Change, merely for the sake of Change,
When it is presented to me that something which has served me well in the past needs altered, I prefer being shown some substantive gain to be derived from the departure from what has been before,.
You see I am something which is called a CONSERVATIVE
I am also a Devout Capitalist and it is written in the
Rules of Acquisition: Thou Shalt Not Hinder the Customer From Parting With Their Latinum.
Adjusting that paradigm to meeting attendance, translates as, if you wish folks to come to your meeting you need to smooth their path.
You need to have the meeting place where it is easy for them to go, where they might go occasionally, often for other reasons.
The short form of the above is
Location, Location, LOCATION
If you think like I do, you might have wondered, "Is there a place in Linn County that is FURTHER away from the people we wish to attend Linn County Central Committee Meetings and still be IN Linn County?
I confess I cannot think of one,.
What would in my opinion be an optimum location?
Well maybe a Central Location? Since folks in Iowa are like folks elsewhere, and those who live out in the country come into Town to Shop, maybe around were they might come to shop?
Perhaps they might want to get something to eat before or after the meeting? How about also where there is a nice selection of restaurants a range of which could fit any budget?
Hmm that sound a lot like
Where we used to HAVE our Meetings.
And to top everyting off, besides being a Conservative and Capitalist, I also place a priority on Fiscal Responsibility.
The Deal we had at our previous location as I understand it was, $50/month and some of us dine there ( I always did) plus booking one Party a year, which we always did.
Now the new place looks very nice, but I still wonder, what was the Gain by this Change?
How exactly did we benefit?
You might want to ask this for yourself if you are curious about the same things I am.
