I think that for this first meet we shouldn't try to get too complicated or expensive. The goal for this first meet is just to put faces to forum names. Meeting, taking some photos, maybe a short cruise or fun FREE event and then everyone can head home.
Then, down the road, we can plan something a little more comprehensive.
And again, Shelton would add an extra 100 miles round trip for us Portlanders, so having a central location for this first meet is important so that we can include as many people as possible.
