Club Christmas Dinner!!!

Well we’re getting to that time of year again, a time we all look forward to, a time for giving, a time for sharing, a time for EATING!!!

Once again we’re in the planning phases of our Club Christmas (or other Holiday of your choice) Dinner!!!

December 16th, 6:30PM

We’re looking at going back to Michael’s again this year for their excellent buffet, club friendly atmosphere, great service, and outstanding drinks.

We’re dining at Lestardo’s Crab House in New Castle.

Rules are the same as years past, but for those that may be newer an unfamiliar, here ya go:

The club will pick up the food portion of the tab for Premium Members (this means you can remember paying your dues at some point this year) and a guest.

We will not cover alcohol.

We will not be responsible for any drunken indiscretions - we all remember the amputee midget in the elf costume story.

We will not be responsible for damage done to your good shirt due to spilled gravy, salad dressing, ketchup, or other food items.

We will not be responsible for the outgoing club presidents drunken speeches, or content of his jokes.

We WILL be holding another grab bag polyanna - please bring with you a frag of some sort with a perceived value of at least $20. Please make sure it’s in water. Please make sure the water is in a spill proof container. All frags will be placed in a plain unmarked brown paper bag. Tickets will be drawn to select picking order.

Seating will be limited, please post here with the number of people in your party (1 or 2) to reserve your spot. Once the officers agree on the number of seats available this post will be updated accordingly.

Craig - 2
Marty -2 (since we KNOW he’s not going to post)

thats true, Marty never misses a free Dinner!

Kaptken for one.

2 for me!

Bill for 2

But probably gonna be just me

Scott and Diana will be attending together again this year. Always look forward to this.

Frank for 2

Matt - 2 Please!

2 for me 2 please!

Joe Odonnell +1

Jim Odonnell +1 but more then likely he will be by him self

I have a question are kids welcome …really hard to find sitter on school night

Kids are welcome, but the club can not pick up their meals.

Keep in mind - I tend to not have a filter - especially when MY kids aren’t around ;D

Bryant - 2 please

So there has been some discussion about a change of venue.

Lestardo’s Ccrab House has been kind enough to offer us a buffett and a means to kick back and relax in a little more “reef friendly” atmosphere. While details are being worked out, we wanted to chek here and see what your thoughts were of trying somewhere new this year?

To us it only seems natural to hold this at a seafood restaraunt :slight_smile:

sounds good to me!

I’m in for either place

I will come either way. Are both buffet all you can eat? Crabs sound good!

We are confirmed for Lestardo’s Crab House (135 Christiana Rd, New Castle, DE 19720)

Appetizers will be served at 6:30 and will include Caprizi salad skewers, cheese platter, vegetable platter with assorted dips.

Dinner will be some of the best Italian you’ve ever had - Baked Ziti, home made Meatballs (trust me these are amazing), house salad, steamed shrimp, and muscles in a white wine/butter/garlic sauce.

Softdrinks will be included, but the bar will be cash (or credit). Once again the club will not be picking up bar tabs, if we cover the alcohol we then become responsible for you making it home safely - and I’m not that responsible ;D

Kids can attend but I make no guarantees they won’t hear bad language or inappropriate jokes.

Don’t forget your frags for the polyanna - this year we may make it a little more vicious and do it ‘Dirty Santa’ style - meaning you’ll have a choice to pick from the pile, or steal someone else’s frag.

We still have a few seats open, so if you’d like to come and haven’t reserved your spot yet, please do so now.

Sounds exciting!!! Cant wait!!

Do you mean this Lestardo’s?
