The email reflector is up and working. People are already responding.

The early responses are very much appreciated as they will help in planning.

Should circumstances not allow you to commit or if it only works out at the last minute, please come on down. We will always find more seats = walkins welcomed. :)

I appreciate the confirmations. So far we have 22 people who are planning to be there. Lasty year, we had 74 attendees.

We can beat that easily.

If for some fluke you cannot make the grand event, Lobby Day at the GAB, you can pick up a depth of information and have fun too at this dinner. Please come on out and join us - bring family and friends.

Drinks are FREE !

There will be no charge for soft drinks, coffee or tea to members of this group.

The manager of this particular location is a very likeable guy and he appreciates our business.

Think he said that he has worked at this location for 17 years - he works 7 days per week, 365 days a year. When I jokingly suggested a part-time job, he said he had one.......raising 4 children.

I'll remember to thank him.

I wonder if they are the same people opening the Hibachi Grill here in Lower Alexandria.

Stand up and be counted.

We are just over 1/3 of the total count from last year at this point.

Think Trump's winning has anything to do with the lower count?

The count is not lower.

It is a work in progress, about where I expected it to be at this point. Prior, I was comparing the count-to-date to the total from last year.

Additional way to make a dinner reservation

I have recorded all replies from the VCDL reflector AND from a few who have posted their intent on other threads.

Anyone who is registered can send me a PM and I will see to it you are included - my PM box is not, nor will be full.

I expect that myself, the dear wifester, and the munchkin will be in attendance this year. I haven't responded to any VCDL e-mail on it yet though. Count me from here though, if you like.

New and improved price terms

$15.00 per person, unlimited buffet, unlimited drinks AND gratuity - all inclusive.
Some of us will undoubtedly sweeten the pot.

Expect that we will make their day! Will be one of the safest places in the state. Our numbers are expected exceed the total from last year.
