Update:

One week from today (May 25th) is the deadline to sign up for the group lunch.

So far we have:

6 people signed up
7 maybes
2 just joining for a quick drink

We normally have 15-25 folks, so please contact me if you are interested. If there are too few people this year, I might cancel, and just let folks gather and fend for themselves. We've had a lot of fun last two years with a whole portion of the restaurant to ourselves. We had to drag ourselves away after 3-4 hours of food and talking.

 

Please sign up by tomorrow (payment by Memorial day is fine). The more the merrier, please join us.

We currently have 10-12 people signed up
