Gathering 23Oct08
 

 

Subject: Bennigans - gathering for EDS / HRL/ BSCo + w/map

Updated 23 Oct 08 1600EST

I am sending this invite out to EDS / BSCo/ HRL and other friends. Please RSVP me so I can have a count, and would like to have a count by the 15th.

Thursday 23 October 2008
from 5:30PM EST to 7:30 (or later depending on how many linger)

Bennigans is located at: Bennigan's Grill & Tavern <http://www.bennigans.com> · Official Website <http://www.bennigans.com> 3395 High Pt Blvd Bethlehem, PA ·(610) 625-4700

The day and location have changed due to numerous issues but the location is still easy to find, has compatible menu, handicapped accessible, and is not booked for a Halloween party yet.
The original event was 16 Oct 08 at Applebees.

Even if you turned down the initial RSVP you are receiving this notice just so you know you are still welcome to join us.

Remember - family is invited! Bring the wife, S/O, kids, etc. just have to leave pets at home. Not my rule.
This is also close to Halloween so anyone who wants to do costume feel free to add to festivity. I will try to be in costume.
Please, whatever you order have the money plus 18% (they automatically include the gratuity in the bill for such a large group)  You can order whenever you want as we are not doing formal sit down or anything. I will try to have the raffle around 6:45PM in case anyone needs to leave by 7:00PM. Raffle items include some EDS / BSCo Magnets, some BSCo Literature (museum quality), a silver tray (left with patina for collectors but easily shined up) from SGO, and a few other pieces of memorabilia.

Some people touch your life once and are gone, others come back again and again, some never let go.
Always try to be in the second category because you never know when you will get a chance to see them.
The third category are usually relatives or stalkers ;-)

Also please send this out to others who were on the account who may want to attend.
