For those of you who will arrive early enough on Thursday, Sept. 13th, (and
want to join us) we will be meeting at 6pm at Sam's No. 3 Restaurant/Diner/BAR
too . Downtown, 15th & Curtis. (www.samsno3.com)

1927 Food is: American, Mexican & Greek. (huge menu) A funky older diner
that was shown on the Food Networks--Diners, Drive-In's and Dives. They do not
take reservations, and are a busy place, so just suggested we try very hard to
all get there at 6pm---and they will try to seat us very near each other as soon
as they can:-) They will be expecting us, so will do their best.
Also for our final Sat. evening together, (Sept 15 ---After the zoo that day)
whoever wants to join in, we'll be meeting at the Rock Bottom Brewery at 6:30

Notice on Payment Deadlines: |
|
The deadline for Tee payments
is July 6. |
In addition to any Tees you wish to purchase, at this time there are two other payments:
Sat Zoo luncheon--$45.00 per person regardless of age.
This includes all you can eat picnic meal, an indoor room/heated/cooled, private
1-hr animal showing, AND ZOO admittance!!-
Friday night Meet & Greet--$19.00 per person regardless of age
Both of these other payments are due no later than August 17th, Friday.
I have pretty much finalized enough with the Denver Zoo for
the Sept 15th special luncheon from 11am to 3pm in our "rented" room, with lunch
and a "free to you all" special 1 hour showing of 4 animals. I will be charging
$45.00 per person (regardless of age) to split the cost of most of it---the
remaining will be taken care of by little Tillie and John. Payments will again
be made to Stuart (group moderator) and your deadline to pay him will be August
17th, Friday. (Stuart will post this soon and you can make payments at any time
and he will give all the details you need to pay him) This includes All you can
eat lunch, which is a Picnic of burgers, hot dogs, cole slaw, baked beans,
devilled eggs, cookies, sodas and waters and iced tea, all condiments ,
tomatoes, cheese, etc and I have added as a gift from Tillie an ice cream
station!!! (I also am treating you with the devilled eggs!!) I just wanted them
myself actually:-) LOL Good that this is all you can eat. For anybody who is a
vegetarian, speak up to the grilling person and they will provide you with a
veggie burger--however many and I will remind them ahead of time. Also for
gluten free issues, they have gluten free buns, so let me know in advance who
needs the special buns and veggie burgers:-) This covers the special ROOM we
will have from 11am to 3pm--air-conditioned and heated. Chairs, tables,
tablecloths and so forth. Also fortunately it Includes all of our ZOO Admittance
and they will send ME the zoo passes (to my home) in advance, so we can all meet
up initially and get in easily!! I've already paid 50% deposits on the food and
room. Can't wait to see what 4 animals they will do a demonstration of!!! (we
are not allowed to choose) This should be SO much fun---so don't eat a big big
breakfast:-)
For the Friday night Meet & Greet at the hotel--we get two sections of their ballroom. I am also covering part of this, but am asking payments of $19.00 per person to be paid to Stuart --also by Aug. 17th, Friday. This is for the meeting room, and chipping in on a bit of food. I am again providing two 1/2 sheet cakes with a hippo reunion theme from a downtown Denver bakery, but I realize some people with cake issues cannot or will not eat it:-) Gluten issue, diabetes, or just being healthy-wise:-) SOOO, I am tossing in 2 trays of food---just something for some of you to nibble on if you'd like. Not a meal. Just a veggie and dips tray made up for 25 people and a cheese/cracker tray just made up for 25 people. Most of you will have eaten before you arrive at the 5pm to 11pm Meet & Greet hopefully:-) I'm also getting beverages---sodas/mixed, including diet, and uncarbonated bottles of water. We cannot take in to the room ANY foods or liquids (it is a law), but we also cannot take Out of the room any food remaining or beverages .(except of my cakes if leftover) They were concerned about people taking beverages out of the room and not consuming in the room, so they decided to begin with a certain amount. :-) Adding more as needed. These are charged Per consumption they said.:-) Beverages are $4.00 per bottle or can---plus on top of everything they add tax and service charges, so it all adds up, even for very little:-) Just wanted to explain more of the details--mostly for newbies and how things work:-)
