[NFBV-Fairfax] Deadline for Matchbox REston: Thursday morning

[Christine Grassman]

All:
It is excruciatingly important (yes, excruciatingly, I’m feeling hyperbolic today), that you let me know if you are joining us on Saturday. Only a few of you responded (thank you) yet some to whom I reached out individually say they are coming.
I need a number so I can plan dessert, etc. 
If you have not signed up on the form, and you have not emailed, texted, or telephoned me, Thursday noon is the absolutely last second, minute, and hour before I give numbers to the restaurant. 
Our sibling Northern Virginia chapters, no special treatment. The same applies to you. :)
I await your responses (you know who you are) and look forward to seeing you Saturday. 
Christine

P.S. Matchbox Reston has offered a truly excellent deal if we reach a certain number of people: family style appetizers, no food or beverage minimum, and they will do separate checks. 
They are not charging us for room rental. 
If we do not reach a certain number, we will probably just do our usual “order whatever” but this will bite into our meeting time.
One of the things I would like to add to our agenda is if we want to work out something with Matchbox Reston going forward for our January celebration with respect to a per-person charge to make things easier and use our time more efficiently. This could mean appetizers for the table, or pizza and salad, etc.
