I am writing because I have to push the importance of squaring away the menu and payment option for our annual Christmas dinner. To do this, I am giving you the chance to act on determining what we will be eating at the event. The way that this goes is that the dinner will be buffet style. Based off the items that are being presented, we must create our holiday menu. I have listed the menu items below for you all to choose from. What we will do then is relay what we want back to the restaurant and they will prepare it for our meal. Before we get into any of that, I’ll quickly restate the facts of the event:<o:p></o:p></p><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Our annual Christmas dinner will take place on Monday, December 11, 2017 from 6pm-8:30pm. <o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>The dinner will take place at Momma Jay’s banquet hall, located at 415 N. 1 Street, Richmond, VA 23219.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Due to the party being the size it is, the check will have to be paid on one card. This means that your payment for your plate must be paid to our Treasurer, Mark Roane, by our November chapter meeting. To calculate how much the meal will be per person, I am going to need you all to send me a private email letting me know that you are attending the dinner by Friday, November 3. This way, I can have an idea for the number of attendees and be able to calculate the JC drivers into this equation. Please sign up if you are sure you are coming.<o:p></o:p></li></ol><p class=MsoNormal>Below are the items we can choose from to make our holiday dinner menu. Take some time to choose which of these you want to see on the menu for the holiday meal. After I have gotten responses for what we want to eat, I will alert you of what has been chosen and place the order with Gerald, who will speak with the restaurant. You have until Friday, November 3 to inform me of what you’d like to see on the menu. Remember, our minimum is $350 as a group, so depending on how much or how little we add to the menu will determine the price per person.
