Ok WACKOS, it is official we will be have our 1st Burns night celebration on Saturday, January 24th, 2009. The cost for this event is estimated to be $20 to $30 per person. It will be a Pot Luck style dinner & BYOB. Your admission price includes the cost of the hall and the haggis. Dress is Scottish Formal or Dressy (Just try to look your best, but know that we would rather have you there than worry about if you have a formal outfit or not)

Because we will be limiting attendees, Reservations & Money (no money will be collected at the door!) must be received before January 12, 2009. We will be limited to the first 40 people who sign up
Contact George Young oldhiker50@aol.com to make your reservation. He will then direct you to Annette Mentzer to arrange for the Pot Luck details.

The reason we will be able to have our Burns Night so inexpensively is that all attendees share in bringing a covered dish, bottle of whisky or wine for sharing. So that we don’t end up with 13 green bean casseroles, Please contact Annette to sign up for your Pot Luck offering. We will only be able to heat up food at the hall; don’t count on doing any cooking at the hall. Table service will be provided.
Some menu items to choose to bring
*smoked salmon, *cheese and *crackers, fruit and veggie platters, *appetizers, *Cock-a-leekie soup, green salad, savory roast, *Scotch eggs,*neeps and *tatties, peas, rolls and butter, *shortbread cookies and *desserts as well as *beer, *soft drinks, *bottled water and *wine.
