Saturday's ride

To be really honest, Saturday does not look like the best day of the year to ride,
high is forecast to be 50* and windy.  But, we have to get ready for all of the
Christmas goodies we'll eat next week so, meet at Mal-Mar at 10:00, dress warm.

Fw: New Years Eve Menu

 
 
Subject: New Years Eve Menu
 
Sherman, Malcolm
 
Here's what I came up with as a New Year's Menu.
There are four courses including the Salad.

It would be $45 per person (not $49) based on folks
pre ordering their selection (this saves money aka waste).
 
Thanks
Tony

New Year's Eve

Had a conversation with Malcolm yesterday.  He has been talking with Chef Tony and it looks
like we may be able to have a New Year's party at Tony's place.  Here's the skinny: Tony will offer
a fixed menu, appetizer, salad, entre' and dessert; one seating priced at $49.00 per person.
 
If you have not made plans and would like for this to go further, I need to know quickly.  Please
respond to my e-mail (srengland@comcast.net) so that we can get a count.

OK guy's, Eddie has a plan for us this weekend.  We'll meet at his house at 10:00 and ride,
then, after the ride an opportunity to enjoy a stew and fellowship and liquid refreshments.
The stew should be ready at 4:00.  This will give you time to change into something more
comfortable than your riding kit if you would like to do that.  If you can't ride, you are still invited
to come and socialize and enjoy the stew.
 
E-mail me at srengland@comcast.net if you need directions to Eddie's house.  It would be nice to
