PB Potluck Social Sign-up for 9/22

Indoor PB on Saturday mornings for winter - Finding indoor facilities to play PB in Howard County is a challenge due primarily to the basketball programs withing the county.  Last year we were able to reserve the Lake Elkhorn gym and two cafeterias for a Saturday morning drop-in session.  We are required to pay for the custodian for a minimum of 4 hours to use this facility.  Due to the rate hike that recently happened, we would need to have 20 people sign-up to pay $13 per session or $130 for 10 sessions.  We would seek substitutes to fill days when someone is unavailable.  At this time, it doesn't look like this is feasible due to only getting 4 people's responses to our survey with 3 being positive.  If we can't obtain enough people interested, we won't be able to offer this venue.  Our reservation request for this facility needs to go in by Oct. 1st.  Here's the doodle survey link again to see if there is any interest:
