And we're still on for Monday, Nov 20th at the Old Oaken Bucket in Westford, at 5:30 onwards! Hope most everyone can make it! I've setup the web page at http://www.tellink.net/~cbenz/nac_dnpg_alum.html and directions to the Old Oaken Bucket are there, also. I don't want to be too organized. But I did pre-order some appetizers - they have some trays that are only available as pre-orders. And there are some that they can put together as needed (i.e. spicy chicken fingers). If people eating appetizers hand me ~$5 each, I'll keep ordering more trays of appetizers (once I cover part of the initial ones). (For those of you who don't know me, just ask someone else, and I think within asking 2 or 3 people, someone will point me out). I don't want to spend much time/effort worrying about food, and welcome anyone to order additional stuff on their initiative and dime. Hope that sits fine with everyone and doesn't sound at all petty. I have 80 or 90 folks on my mailing list, and that's just people who asked explicitly to be on it ! This is probably my last email before the event, so try to think of anyone who might be unaware and send it on to them. (A fair subset of people that are on the list are listed on the web page, so be nice and check that before broadcasting ! The reward for opting in there is not having your email box clogged) Looking forward to seeing everyone ! \chuck benz
