Turnout was low for last year's Christmas Banquet, which was held August 9, 2005.

SHELDON, OH (Reuters) -- The Procrastinator's Club has once again postponed their annual Christmas Banquet, siting problems with getting the decorations done on time. This is the ninth postponement of the banquet, which was originally scheduled for December 16, 2005.

According to Leanne Grimes, Banquet Committee Chairperson, "I've been meaning to get to Party City to get the decorations, but you know how stuff happens. Last week the dog simply had to go to the vet to get socks he had eaten removed from his intestines. Something always comes up."

Nathan Mitle, Procrastinator's Club president, was unavailable for comment, as several calls to him were left unanswered.

In an effort to avoid this kind of problem in the future, a planning meeting for the 2006 Christmas Banquet was scheduled for July 27, but was canceled when several members called to say they couldn't make it because they hadn't finished their taxes. A new meeting has been tentatively scheduled for December 27.
