For my I don't think there is a perfect location for the meet-up nor a perfect time of year. We are a huge diverse group of people with different interests. Some love the big city atomosphere, night life and shopping, others (me included) would prefer a more quiet and less formal atmosphere.

I would prefer reserving space at a quiet resort for a Yorkie "get away" - Breckenridge, Colorado would be nice (47 miles from Denver) or Gatlinburg, TN (34 miles from Knoxville).

I think that their should be a few diverse options, and a vote. In order to vote I think members should put up a small "fee" that is non refundable so that only those really interested in making the trip would vote. The voter fee would be applied to the over all expense of the trip. If each member paid a $10.00 fee and l00 people voted that is a quick 1,000 towards the cost of the event. It wouldn't bother me to donate $10. even if I didn't get to go.

My hat is off to anyone who bites the bullet to organize the next meetup.

That sounds like a GREAT idea Cindy! I would be willing to donate $10 as well.
