Last Friday, I met with the Moonrise Hotel Banquet Coordinator Wendy Walker.  We are now set for our Welcome Dinner for Gene and Marta Kranz.  The event will be held in the Apollo 11 Room.  This room provides us with an awesome location to have our dinner; with privacy, plenty of space, round tables that accommodate up to 10 people, and wet-bar for purchase of beverages (soda, tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages).

The cost to attend this even is $35.  The dinner selections are as follows:

1.  Mahi Mahi with Brown Rice Pilaf and Grilled Asparagus
2.  Roasted Chicken with Potato Gouda Gratin and Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Grapes
3.  Pork Loin with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Green Bean Amandine

All three dinners come with a garden salad for starters.

Here is a listing of the following club members who will be attending:  Dan Crank, Don Hanson, Heino and Janna Pull, John and Jackie Buckley, Ken Gianino, and myself.

If possible, I would like to collect everyone's dinner selection and money tomorrow at our meeting.

I am planning on having scale model rockets for the table center pieces.  The scale theme is famous NASA and Science Center rockets.  If you have a rocket you would like to show off, let me know.  John Buckley's Thor-Able comes to mind as a perfect centerpiece for the table that John Lakey will be seated at.

We have the room reserved from 3:30 - 8:00 pm.
