Thought I would get an early start to this. It's now only 5 days away.

Confirmed date is Friday December 9 @7pm

I'd like to get a roll call started to get an idea as to how big a group we will have this year. So please if you are interested in attending this year, let me know.

1. 2014, we had 20 people for dinner.
2. 2015, we had 37 people for dinner.

Aria was such a nice place last year, and they were able to accommodate us that I am booking there again.

And the after party at Jake's Boathouse was a blast so for anyone interested, we can do that again.

Dinner will be about $75/person (should include dinner, drinks, taxes, tip). I believe this was the average bill from last year's dinner.

Here are links to pictures from the last 2 dinners.

One little change this year. I just got a call. A larger group has just booked on the same night and they gave them the ground floor. I'm not to happy about that as I did book a few weeks ago so that should be our floor. So they asked if we can move to a later date or move to the upper floor and I said sure to the upper floor. Whatever happened to first come first serve, no budding allowed, etc? I'm disappointed.

Awesome Stan, Doris and I are in! Thanks for setting this up again!

We may have a conflict Stan. How late can we let you know?

Gotta love people like me when you're organizing stuff like this.

Hey Jack not too big of a rush I have the room booked for 40 but we can go to 52 I think it was that she told me basically 7 tables of 8 so I do expect a couple people to show up that won't RSVP
