With the success for 2015's meet and greet, Leadership has decided to start gauging interest in next years choices for meeting up. However before we get to that, I need to establish some things:
1: These are the ONLY locations up for discussing next year, we banded together and narrowed the locations down to these place based on many variables. Please do not post in here "Move it to NY City, or Texas, or anything along those lines"
2: Please only vote if you honestly intend on trying to make it. (i.e. If you are 18 or under you are obviously not going to be able to make it on your own, so unless you plan on dragging your parents or another adult along, there is no sense voting) If a lot of people vote for a certain location and then don't show, it will dramatically hurt us, especially if we are able to commit to a cheaper rate at a hotel because we committed to booking so many rooms. Please only vote if you honestly are going to try to attend.
With those things in place, I present to you the locations for next years Meet and Greet, We tried to find locations that would be both friendly for single individuals as well as families, while also being reasonable places to stay without spending an exorbitant amount of money.
Cedar Point, Sandusky, OH Cedar Point
One of the best amusement parks in the world. over 17 roller coasters, huge water resort as well. Resort area, nice hotels, cheap rates, midwest area.
Definitely a summer destination, still plenty to do for the non thrill seekers.
