OCMPF members debate format and cost as they consider reviving annual dinner
Summary
Board members discussed reviving the OCMPF annual dinner, debating ticket price targets of $25–$30, buffet versus sit-down service to lower costs, and using municipal dues to subsidize attendance; members suggested a questionnaire to assess interest.
Board members used the April 6 meeting to discuss bringing back the OCMPF annual dinner, last held several years ago. David Niemotko proposed ticket prices of $25–$30 and said municipalities could be encouraged to pay dues to help offset costs for members.
Gene Winters said the timing for a previous dinner was poor and suggested a buffet-style meal to reduce expenses and encourage attendance; Jeff Manson recommended surveying members to determine how much they'd be willing to pay. Members discussed past venues such as Delancy's and flagged cost as a barrier to participation.
No formal motion was recorded to set a date or ticket price; board members agreed to use a questionnaire to gauge interest and price sensitivity before committing to a date or format.
