Frank,

Flyers should have been out at the other TOR's. If you are going to hold a summer TOR, it should be held after school closes. I have more graduations, communions, etc at this time of year (May-June) that are a must to attend. Perhaps late April or late August would have been a better time.

First it has the most expensive table fees for a one day TOR in the NY metro area (call it a 75 miles radius); and this for a start-up TOR. Secondly, the TOR is scheduled against an established TOR held near Syracuse, NY and while not sponsored by the lodge, is being held by another council in the section (NE-3B). While Syracuse is a 5 hour drive from NYC, it is 2-2.5 from the Albany area which would also be a draw for the Half Moon TOR. At least two of the Section NE-3B Lodges are holding competing events that weekend. Lodge 219 is holding a Spring fellowship (at the Camp where the 4th Annual Central NY TOR is being held) and Lodge 402 is holding a Brotherhood weekend too. And your right depending on how many people show up for a canceled event, could turn them off for any rescheduled date. John,

I wonder how those who show up looking for the TOR will feel when they show up to find and find it's been cancelled... at the last minute. I would not be too happy, epsecially if I had driven any sort of distance to get there. nc-tarheel This is how you kill a TOR.
