Brian_Heil Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Since not everyone will be attending the PWD After Tour, we need to start a thread on our National Meet Dinner. We like to have this earlier in the week rather than later so we can meet and greet and know each other better as the weekend rolls out. Planning for Thursday evening, July 6th. I have feelers out to several establishments right now. Stay tuned. What I need is a headcount to help with space/venue planning. Please respond with planned attendance and number. (Mr. Moderator, if you would be so kind as to pin this one at the top if it starts to drop. Thank you!) My Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jscheib Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Assuming my health continues and stays strong, Bea and I will be at dinner. Depending on my situation, I am not yet sure of bringing the '32, so may have only a two-seater for the tour. I will stay aware of this thread, otherwise I would be glad to give Mark and Rinda a ride, unless the prefer the "cargo" option. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Maybe we can get a different ride each day.... It was a hoot when we did that on the HCCA Gas & Brass Tour years ago. It's a great way to get to know others in the club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian_Heil Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Terry, Yes, Finn is planning on joining Cristine and me in Brookfield, as well as the After Tour. His calendar is filling up, but we are on it when I asked him. He really does love to ride in the Buick. Handy to have too, if anyone needs a tow.

We will have a condensed menu to order from. The restaurant has very good reviews, a large side room for us and is close. The PWD Meeting will be at the hotel site prior to dinner and we will hand out easy directions there and then head to dinner. Please bring cash as the only restriction is they would not do individual tabs for our group, so we will have to appoint a banker. Bar service is also available and you will be able to run a tab for that and charge it too. Funny how that works. Lots of room, so keep those posts coming with attendees. This is a nice place and will have Mama smiling.

jscheib Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Brian, I have looked over the published menu and the photos of the restaurant, including the "farm fresh" vegies and seasonings. Looking forward to this dinner. I think we need to put together soon something for the folks not on the forum, by means of a newsletter. I will send you a separate e-mail.

Brian_Heil Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 OK Folks. we are getting close. If you have not replied to this Chat String that you are attending the PWD Dinner or sent me an email regarding the same, please post or email now. Either works. Last Call and all that sort of stuff as we set our count and table set-up/seating. Reminder to bring cash for the Dinner as they will not do separate checks. Also, don't forget our PWD Meeting at 3:00 - 4:30 Thursday Night before we head out to Dinner. Milwaukee Ballroom #1 at the Sheraton where we will go over Dinner and the After Tour and other (monkey) business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Wiegand Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Brian, please explain then just how the payment for our meal and drinks will be handled if they will not do separate checks. Good ol' cash works for us. How are Barbara and I going to pay for our meal? What kind of place are you getting us into here? Terry Wiegand South Hutchinson, Kansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Terry, I think Brian explained earlier. We need a "banker' to collect cash from everyone and pay the one bill. I assume that person, if he wants to carry a lot of cash, can pay by his/her personal credit card, or cash. I think he indicated drinks would be ordered and paid for when order is delivered, again probably cash, maybe credit card. Having been through other events like this, each person, or couple, or group should keep track of their order, including tip and tax. I hope they provide us with a few menus after the meal so we can tell what each meal costs. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Wiegand South Hutchinson, Kansas What they told me is, cocktails are paid for as delivered. Dinner, you will have to recall what you ordered off the scaled down group menu they will provide and the cost, soft drinks too and then add 25% (20% fixed group tip and 5% tax) and then pay me. I'm told it's a nice place, see their website back a few posts. I'm hoping not to get 'stuck' with a shortfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
