- Dinner locations discussion. Art had spent much time contacting various restaurants and there was a problem with almost all locations. Great Basin said two weeks before, they did not know. BJs did not do separate checks. Pinocchio’s was the same, no separate checks, as several others mentioned. Some do not like Sushi, some do not like Mexican food, some do not like the price of the meals. There was a reservation at La Posada tonight. Dody asked for a show of hands of how many preferred LaVecchia than any other restaurants mentioned thus far. Overwhelming majority for La Vecchia and the food.
- Dinner. Reservations were at La Posada this evening. Headcount of 18 for dinner. Members could proceed to La Posada.
Meeting adjourned at 6:40 pm.
