>> NFBI State Convention
>>
>> Friday Night Dinner Outing
>>
>>
>>
>> What are you doing for dinner on Friday night of our state convention? 
>> "I don't know," you say?  Well, why not join the Blackhawk Chapter as we 
>> lead you out of the hotel to a nearby restaurant in the exciting 
>> "District" of downtown Rock Island.
>>
>>
>>
>> This year, we will break those interested in this combination mobility 
>> and eating adventure into three groups.  After a walk of approximately 
>> four blocks, you will have the choice of going to:
>>
>>
>>
>> ·        The Blue Cat
>>
>> This would be the best choice if you are interested in a dinner or a 
>> salad. Dinners would vary from around $13 to $20 as you go from a pasta 
>> to a steak. The Blue Cat has a full bar, but is also a micro brewery with 
>> its own variety of beers.
>>
>>
>>
>> ·        Huckleberry's
>>
>> At this restaurant, we would have a sit-down pizza buffet.  A variety of 
>> pizzas will be brought around, and you could expect to get three to four 
>> pieces.  This will not be an all-you-can-eat affair, and the type of 
>> pizzas will be pre-selected.  Huckleberry's also has a full bar.  The 
>> total cost, including pizza, soft drink, and gratuity should be close to 
>> $15.
>>
>>
>>
>> ·        Rock Island Brewing Company (RIBCO)
>>
>> Probably the best choice if you're looking for a sandwich -- hamburgers, 
>> chicken, reuben, etc. -- or those bar-type appetizers your diet tells you 
>> to stay away from.  RIBCO is a micro brewery with a selection of its own 
>> beers, but also has a full bar.  RIBCO is noted in the District for 
>> having live bands, though we will be too early for that.  A sandwich, 
>> soft drink, and gratuity should be around $15.
>>
>>
>>
>> In order to plan for this event and to make reservations, I'm asking 
>> those interested to contact me by September 30 and tell me where you want 
>> to go. Again, this is not a popularity poll to decide which of these 
>> restaurants we will go to in one big bunch.  We need to break into three 
>> groups in order to keep from swamping these restaurants with a large 
>> group on a busy Friday night.  Make your personal choice as to where you 
>> want to go and let me know.  We will take off from the hotel at 5 PM and 
>> plan to leave the restaurants by 6:30.
