UPDATE --- SOS Dinner Event

[Pete Ebbink]

All,

Please find below the dinner sign-up lists for Thursday and Friday night.

Please remember these Lists are not confirmed and you will need to sign your name in person (and leave a cellular phone number if possible) on the List when you arrive at the SOS show. This is the only way we will know all folks who said they will attend the show and join the groups for dinner are actually are present, physically at the show and have not change their minds about attending the dinners.

For Thursday, please sign the List by 3 pm. This will allow us to re-confirm with the chef our head-count for Thursday night.

For Friday, we still need someone to step-up and â??volunteerâ?� to organize the event (i.e. pick a restaurant, make reservations for the group, and possibly leave a CC number to hold the groupâ??s reservation). I am afraid if we do not get a volunteer, the Friday night dinner event may just â??evaporateâ?�â?¦please contact me at pebbink@pacbell.net if you want to be the volunteer.

For Thursday night, the restaurant at the Executive Inn West was chosen. The maximum number of diners the chef has held us to is 23 diners (no exceptions, sorry). A 3-course dinner in the price option # 2 (between $ 15 and $ 30) was worked out by Joop and the executive chef. Our Thursday night party will be seated in their private â??Aberdeenâ?� room. We would like folks on Thursday to be at the restaurant by 7 pm for some pre-dinner wine and dinner will promptly be served by 7:30 pm. Please try not to be late.

If there are â??openingsâ?� on the Thursday night list by 3 pm on Thursday afternoon, I will go down the Friday night list (using folks cell numbers they hopefully will leave on the List) to see if anyone from Friday wants to switch to Thursday. I will call those on the Friday list from top down, in the order they signed up for Friday. I realize some folks only get to KY early Friday morning and cannot join the Thursday group.

Thursday got much more popular with folks once the word about Joopâ??s generous offer for free, fine wines with dinner got outâ?¦
