The club is conducting a venue survey this past week, after the conclusion of the second meeting at Madison House, to determine members' opinions of Madison House as a meeting venue. The survey was sent to 25 members who attended at least one of the meetings at Madison House, and 24 responded.About half the respondents feel the location is in the vicinity of where the club should be meeting in Kirkland. Over half feel it's easy to reach by car in the early evening. About 85 percent feel the food is either good or acceptable, and two-thirds feel its at the right serving temperature. Nearly one-fifth feel the food service would not be attractive to new members from the business community, but more than twice that proportion were ambivalent while 35 percent felt the food service would be attractive.
Almost 80 percent felt the meeting space suits the needs of the club, and most were positive about being able to see and hear the guest speakers and other members speaking. Respondents were fairly split on whether the space would be attractive to new members, but more than not felt the space was inviting, convenient from the parking lot, and accessible. Finally, in a forced ranking Madison House was ranked quite similarly to SOI, Courtyard, and Heathman, but not as highly as The Woodmark.
The presentation version of the results and the tabular version (8 1/2 x 11) are both available on the club's website in the Documents section.
