MARS
Associates
Dinner ClubBy Ralph and Carole Dergance
Your Dinner Club just keeps on enjoying very fine, cost-effective meals in 2010.
The level of participation increases with each year.
We also continue to receive suggested venues from our members.
We were then treated to a superior dinner and presentation at Littleton’s five-star restaurant
and the 5280® number five restaurant, Opus, on April 13 with 68 Associates in attendance.
We will undoubtedly return to this establishment in the not-too-distant future.
This event was followed by yet another superior meal at Pinehurst Country Club
where 70 folks enjoyed a wonderful private dinner on May 12.
Our annual trek to Mount Vernon Country Club for their outstanding buffet and
scenery occurred on June 16, with 155 enjoying this great event.
We will then have dinner at one of the Club’s favorites, 240 Union on July 15.
This event sold out at the previous capacity of 50 within FOUR DAYS after the April mailing.
Fortunately, we were able to increase the attendance at this event thanks to the
management of the restaurant. The increased attendance of 70 was also sold out
prior to the middle of May. We will take our usual break in August and will return to
The Arrowhead Golf Club for dinner and spectacular scenery on September 15.
On October 12 we will be treated to a luncheon at the Café de France in Aspen Grove
and will close the year at The Garden Terrace in Inverness on November 13.
Candidate venues for all events for 2011 are currently being evaluated and will be
revealed in future issues of the STAR.
Thanks to your continued enthusiastic support, many of our events reach capacity well within a
week or two of the STAR mailing. Therefore, you are all advised to get your checks in early.
Please remember that you may send a single check if you choose to simultaneously reserve
spaces for multiple Dinner Club events.
Please do not combine Dinner Club events with other MARS events (i.e. Holiday Dance,
Annual Meeting, Picnic, Dues, etc.) on a single check. Also, please remember to include the name(s)
of guest(s) on the sign-up slips. This will greatly simplify preparation for your events.
We look forward to the continued success of the MARS Associates Dinner Club.
We encourage all Associates and their guests to join us for very enjoyable, affordable,
and satisfying culinary events.
Remember this sage observation:
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” Albert Einstein
