I suspect that the problem is in serving meals. I am sure that the Youngers are looking for a hotel or other facility capable of serving both breakfast and dinner to 1000 people in one serving. Seems like the dining room in Providence was pretty full and I don't think that there were 1000 people there. So a task for the folks that want the reunion in their area is to find a spot that can do this and forward the information to Harbour Lights. Maybe that will help the Youngers in making their decision.
