Check and make sure your name is on the list if you are planning on coming. If you told me you were coming, but have changed your mind, LET ME KNOW, so I can remove your name.

I've called in the menu.
We are set for 7:00 p.m., SAT night (the 9th)
We have a semi-private room this year--yeah!!

Your tab with tax and gratuity will be $45.50 per person. Alcoholic or specialty drinks will be added to that total.

I would prefer to have a final count by Wed. evening so that I can notify the restaurant.
Once we give them the "official count", we (me, as I've secured this with my credit card) are obligated to pay for that number of people, so please keep that in mind. (I will take the number we have minus 2--just in case someone has an emergency) We will be able to add up to 5 people without upsetting the universe, but more than that might get the planets out of sync or something.

Here are the attendees!

Andy
Mike Labbe
Dan
Jennifer
Jennifer's hubby
Wally
Tony
Kassandra
Jim Miller
Bill Ward
Bill's guest
Bossy Ellen
Shirley Damon
Jeanne

(maybe) Linda
maybe 2 other people

So far, we have myself, Mike, and Jim who are stepping up to do the math for our tables. I will need more people.

I guess that's it for now.
 
OK, here's an incentive for those who volunteer to bring a calculator to help split the drink tabs at their table:

These 'table monitors' will share in a drawing for (12) sets of WallBuddies. In my store these retail for $3.99 each, so that represents a retail value exceeding the price of dinner.

Barb expects we'll have 5 or 6 tables, so the odds of winning are great, the risk is nil, and the time is running out. Volunteer today!
 
I will bring my phone which has a calculator on it(I just checked to make sure)so we can use that.I can't wait to meet y'all. Kev
 
Kerry Wilson would like to join the list, since she has determined that I won't be making anyone switch seats in the middle of dinner (she even said that right to my face... er, ear!)
PS: I never travel without my calculator, just in case.
 
Unfortunately, I will not be able to come to the dinner. But, I would like to follow Jim' s brilliant initiative to use WallBaddies as an incentive for 'drink counters.'

Therefore, I pledge three sets of special addition AccuHang disposable devices for the drawing. Each regular set of disposable devices will retail for about $1.50 each. These three sets that are made in the special addition version can be used quite a number of times and, therefore, cost much more.

I am making this contribution in appreciation of the Grumblers continues support and warm wishers with my invention.

I will leave the package for Barb at the restaurant.

Jim, could you do me a favor? Since you've already used AccuHang, if there are questions concerning the technology, I would appreciate your answering to them. Thank you, Jim.



Everybody have a great time,

I would do the math at the table I set at, but honestly, you don't want me to. I switch numbers, only see half of numbers and my brain is not, NOT wired for numbers. How come I'm a framer? Good question!
 
Ok, so we're taking Bill Ward, Bill's guest and Julia off of the list. Sorry you all can't make it.

We'll add Kerry; thanks for inviting her, Ellen!

Thanks Jim and Boris for the *prizes*--yeah! That is very nice and unexpected gesture.

Nona, you passed the MCPF, so I think you must be good at numbers when the pressure is on. I can't imagine any more pressure than figuring the tabs of 6 slightly inebriated people who suddenly can't remember what drinks they ordered an hour earlier. In other words, you're hired.
(Unless you sit at Jim, Mike's or my table).
