WeekDAY rallies?
RichGrab:
Well, as I can see from responses this will work well for the retired folks. Those of us who still have a M-F responsibility not so much. As it is, I already need to use at least one day of vacation to attend MPFB (if work conference timing allows it), at least 2 if not 3 days for FCR. And as someone else mentioned, not gonna do much for recruitment efforts of the younger folks (aka future of MSTA).
Patmo:
There are A LOT of jobs where people work weekends on a regular basis and have days off during the week. Sure, lots of people work the Monday-Friday office deal, but that’s not true for everyone. In addition, there are a lot more jobs today that work flexibly and where people can choose their days off. Perhaps doing something different and having something happening on days during the week would be attractive to those people? I mean 1 weekday rally a year wouldn’t really matter that much, would it? We already have 16 a year that happen on weekends. How about doing ONE for the people for whom it WOULD be convenient?
We can’t just keep doing the same old things and hope for different results. Perhaps it’s time to try something different?

As long as you're adding a new event and not changing an existing event I say go far it.

^ No harm in giving it a try. Perhaps scheduling it in conjunction with a weekend meet in a nearby region would give folks the added option of attending one or both as their schedules permit. For example, schedule a weekday meet somewhere near the Dragon in NC, and then a weekend meet in Canaan Valley in WV.

Whoa… your idea isn’t bad but the two locations you selected are a long way away from each other not near at all.
Just my $.02 worth.
