Recommendation: Attendance

Ok folks, here’s the deal.

I really tried to compose a good attendance estimate for Satomi’s service.  I’ve struggled with it for months now.  Our best guess based on Satomi’s activities, circles of friends, and young age is between 300 and 400 people.

But this ignores the blog-effect.

How many more people may attend because they have been monitoring Satomi’s condition on a regular basis?  I’m sure there is some manner to estimate it but I don’t know what it is.  All I can say for sure is that more people will attend with a blog than without one.

That said, I have my concerns that there will be enough seating.  The chapel has a maximum seating capacity of about 300 people and the overflow fellowship room will seat another 150 people.  After that, you have to stand or sit in an area with no view of the activities.

If you have any issues with this, I HIGHLY recommend that you arrive early.

I’m sorry but I have no idea what “early” means. If it helps, just know that “close family” is supposed to arrive at 9:30am and we have reserved seating.

Before you decide, be sure to read the other “Recommendation” posts.
