Rebuttal to Issues/Risks/Complaints
-The date will be chosen in a timely manner, allowing those invited to plan accordingly in hopes to arrange schedules so they may attend the reception.
-The date will be determined between the dates mentioned above and there is a high likelihood that one of those dates will work for the recipient.
-The event will also fall over the lunch period of most of those on Senate, 12:00-1:00pm, thereby allowing the majority of Senate to be in attendance.
-An invitation will be sent out through Eventbrite which will confirm who is coming and what they will be eating. Student Senate will then have a list of attendees and, through the website, will be able to send out reminder emails a week before and one day before.
