Bob, We're looking forward to meeting you as well. You're on the list. Do I remember you from a previous QJ gathering at Copia? I think I do. Any friend of Marten's is a friend of ours.

Some time ago, I posted that we would have more info regarding costs. This is what we have decided.

It makes sense to order bulk meats & sides if we have 12 or more. Otherwise, it makes better sense to order from the menu. I feel confident that we can have 12 or more at our dinner. I have invited a couple of presenters that I know you will enjoy becoming better acquainted with, and we could benefit from learning from them about trip possibilities in some really remote areas. As of now, they have not accepted our invitation, but I'm hopeful they will. If we have 12 or more, we will order bulk, and the dinner will cost $12 each. If we do not have that number, we will order from the menu, and, of course, you can get exactly what you want, and the cost will be whatever you order. To see their menu, go to   (You need to Login or Register .

When I get affirmative responses, I will let you know who is coming to dinner to join us. As we indicated before, we will have some Madtown area craft beers, regular & diet pop, and bottled water for beverage choices. MuleLars, Wally 13, and portage dog are providing the craft beers, and any donation you can provide will defray their costs. The other beverages are free.

We always look forward to these annual modern-day Voyaguer Rendezvous'. If you're still on the fence, make your plans now to join us. While the deadline for responding to the Saturday dinner is Friday night at our Meet N Greet, we would appreciate knowing soon if you can come. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to invite and bring friends and family members.

Once again, MuleLars has graciously volunteered to be our catering boss, and he will pickup and deliver the food. We need to collect funds on Friday, if possible, to enable him to make payment. 8-)
