President Mark Kashar sent a long email at about 5:37pm on Wed, August 19.
If you did not read it, please do!
RCPC will be leaving Maggianos at the end of August.
Alternative locations are being explored.
Please see the email for options that have already been ruled out.
 
If you have an idea on a location, please contact that location directly.  The following is a list of minimum requirements that a space must meet.  When you contact the location, please complete the attached form (which includes the bullet points below), and email Tom Swift athomasswift@msn.com, as he is keeping track of location options:
• Capacity of 60+
• Audio/Video capabilities
• Is food an option there or would we need to have a caterer provide food?
• Is there ample parking?
• Can we meet there weekly?
• Is there a minimum weekly spend required?
• What are all of the all-in costs per person (food, any room charges, service charges, etc.) that we can expect?
• Located in Park Cities or adjacent to the Park Cities
Any and all ideas are welcome, and a decision is needed on a new location likely starting with our Friday 9/11/2026 meeting (meaning we need to have a new location reserved very soon)
