What about the UIC's? They usually have their meeting the same day as we do. Will they have an opportunity to meet as well?
I think that the State meeting should be all inclusive. Not just the DA'S, especially if Andrew and Kit will be here.
Just my 2 cents though....

Has Marc indicated the agenda for Saturday that can not be done on Friday? I appreciate that Marc has invited the league presidents for Friday night. He does not indicate where the Friday night seating is and maybe the DA's can come earlier to discuss more than the Little League days for next year.
I am in favored of the Saturday meeting with DA's and support staff as we have done in the past.

My 2 Cents
Last year the meeting with the mariners was 5-6 people standing around a table of cold cuts and fruit listening to Marc wander through an elevator spiel.
I’d like to accomplish things with the Mariners, AND if we take advantage of their generosity, we should have some quality time to discuss things to A) Develop the relationship and serving each other’s interest, and B) Deal with issues in a setting where we can focus on topics, agree on things, and make progress…
Conversely, I’d like to get my ADAs (yes I finally have ADAs), to the meeting with the rest of you animals so they can start taking things back to the Districts themselves… so I’m kind of in favor of a focused meeting in the facility Bob has rounded up with maybe lesser time spent watching the Mariners play baseball… (although that is fun too!).

They have set up our time in the Mariners differently this year. Instead of a Friday night event for Das and a guest, Marc is making it a 2-day event.
Friday night would be (from. Marc) “The one on September 30th we will be inviting all the DAs and all the league Presidents. We will roll out the dates for next season and give everybody a meal.” According to the schedule that is a 6:40 game time.
Then on Saturday (per Marc) “I’ll be putting the DAs up in a Suite. I’m finalizing all the details soon, but invites will be going out next week.” According to the schedule that is a 1:10 start. I told Marc of the dilemma.
This gives us 2 choices – 1) have the state meeting a different day altogether; 2) After I told him the difficulty he wrote “He wrote “If you wanted, you could hold the meeting in the Suites. I’ll come in early and let everybody in and walk you up. Then you can just meet in the Suites and stay for the game while it goes on. The food and drinks would be brought in closer to gametime. It’s a 1:10pm afternoon game on October 1st.”
The difficulty for the second option is it would be limited to D.A.s and a guest. This would exclude a lot of our support people.
If we choose to have the state meeting on a different day, could we still have a mini meeting – report from the region, since Andrew and Kit are planning to come that weekend – a little earlier on Saturday. Maybe start at 11:30 or 12 in the suite?
Please provide input on this so we can make arrangements. Bob has already reserved the building in Redmond for those dates. I would think any chance of us (it is a group obligation – not district 9) getting out of that would mean a decision right away.
