Early Bird Dinner

Ladies...I am really excited about the restaurant that has been chosen for our Early Bird dinner! It looks and sounds fantastic!

In the past the job of hosting this dinner has fallen on jayardi. This year she is extremely busy with many other things (one being the scraps 2 treasure challenge, one of my favorites) and so I asked her if I could have someone else take over this task so we could get the ball rolling and I wouldn't have to feel like I was bugging the stuffing out of her. She graciously accepted the reprieve and I recruited a seasoned bird for the job. SavedSinnr has done a great job in the spread sheet department making it very easy for me to make decisions. If you have any questions post them on the message board's thread or PM her.

We are ready to begin signups for the Early Bird dinner. Now, this is not part of the retreat since it is on Thursday, the day before retreat officially begins and that is why it is a separate fee. This is just out there for everyone who gets in early to get together and start meeting each other and so no one has to eat alone. If you bring guest(s) they are welcome to come too! If you don't want to join us, you don't have to but we'll miss you...

Please look over the meals that are being offered and REPLY TO THE THREAD ON THE MESSAGE BOARDwhen you have decided. Tell us what you would like, what your guest (if any) would like and the total cost. Each meal will be $25 and that includes the entree, a soda, a green salad, tax, gratuity and a special dessert back at the hotel later that night. Send the check to me, Gonesewin, and sit back and let your mouth imagine the meal for the next 3 months.

Here are your choices of sandwiches (There are NO substitutions):

HOUSE SMOKED PULLED PORK hop hog spiked bbq, house coleslaw, house-made chips
LBC STEAK flatiron steak, caramelized onion, sautéed mushrooms, gruyere, house-cut fries
PORTOBELLO spinach, roasted red pepper, gruyere, caramelized onion, pepper aioli, chips
BREWERS CHICKEN caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, cheddar, aioli, house-made chips

Drink choices ~ they sell pepsi products, or iced tea or water

The Early Bird dinner will be held at ~
LANCASTER BREWING CO
469 Eisenhower Blvd
Harrisburg PA

Thursday, June 20th
5:30 pm


Since this IS a brewery, there IS beer (LOTS of different, award winning beer) available. IF you should indulge while at dinner, PLEASE, keep it in moderation. And if you are driving PLEASE refrain from partaking of the stuff. You will be given a separate bill for alcoholic beverages by the wait staff.

The restaurant is about 3 miles from the hotel so if you drove, could you give a non-driving retreater a lift? Thanks
