543.0. "Dinner with Mike Valenza Friday Dec 14th" by WMOIS::B_REINKE (bread&roses) Sat Nov 17 1990 18:31

    �A shy person from Colorado will be visiting in New England
     arriving December 10th. We'd like to invite people who have
     enjoyed his notes and his friendship to dinner Friday of
     that week (the 14th?), time and place to be determined.

    it, but I don't so I can't.

    We may be meeting at May Ling's again.  Unless, of course, someone
    prefers to have it at their home.  As I don't allow tobacco or alcohol
    in my home, I have a feeling people won't be too interested in coming
    there.

    I talked to E Grace on the phone yesterday (without having seen
    the last few exchanges here) and we agreed on May Ling's. If there
    are no strenuous objections I'd prefer to go with that choice
    at this point in time.

    By the way
    
    if anyone would like to come and does not have the money, I got
    about $45  (and one 10 mark note from Heinrich Benz), from
    Phil Connell, Joe Riley, Laura Ervin, Karen Godin, Brian Hetrick,
    and ?? Kholbrenner, as a result of the pledge note. This is not
    only to thank them but to say that their money will be used to
    buy dinner for anyone who wants to make it and can't afford it.

    p.s. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone who sent me money
543.29Directions to May Ling'sWMOIS::B_REINKEbread&rosesTue Dec 11 1990 11:4770
These directions were originally written by Christine Rainey for
Pat Jeffries's party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    DIRECTIONS TO MAYLING'S  (or a reasonable attempt at it)
    
    From Route 2:  Take the exit for route 27 South (toward
    Maynard).  Immediately off the exit, you should hit a
    traffic light (a McDonalds will be on the right just 
    after the light).  Go straight through this light and
    follow 27 into the center of Maynard.  This should bring
    you (10 minutes or so) to a funky intersection in downtown
    Maynard where your next light will be.
    
    At this intersection, you want to bear to your left (the
    straightest rt possible and almost immediately hit 
    another intersection where Store 24 is on your right.
    Go straight thru this intersection and the restaurant
    is a little bit down the road on your right.  See map.

    Jody I don't think we've made reservations yet, E Grace was going to.
    
    Seems reasonable for folks to gather at the bar as they arrive, and 
    those that want to arrive by 5.30 or who come straight from work can.
    
    In case E Grace is too flustered, is there anyone else who would
    volunteer to call the restaurant and make reservations for the
    current list plus a few?

    if a person is just stopping for drinks there is no need to be
    announced, if they intend to eat dinner we need to have a count
    for reservations, and request that people don't show up without
    telling us they are coming.

543.52Oh. The reservation is under "Valenza"GWYNED::YUKONSECMENTORWed Dec 12 1990 16:2910
    I have made reservations for 35 people, with a seating time of ~6:00.
    They have asked us to please head for our tables in the back when we
    get there, instead of hanging around the bar.  They are having a 
    "cocktails-and-hors d'oeuvre" party at 5, and things might get crowded
    around the bar area.
    
    If we get more people expressing an interest, I will try to update the 
    reservation tomorrow.  However, I won't be in on Friday, so...

    I certainly welcome you Mike, despite our differences at times.  NOTES
    is not reality and hatred is evil.  
    
    I feel that maturity is indeed living your life the way you see fit and
    allowing others to do the same.  If someone does not welcome you at
    this open-invitation party, Mike.  I feel that is THEIR problem, not
    yours.
    
    Do what YOU want to do..........don't allow others to control your
    life.

    What've you got to lose?  Some of us may even decide we *like* you.
    
    P.S. If you're still not sure, bring your girlfriend along,
    just in case you can't handle it. ;-)

    I have been volunteered to take care of any last minute details.
    This means you only have until 14-DEC-1990:17:00 (or thereabouts)
    to make a last minute decision.

    Please count me in - I'm just catching up on notes after being out for
    a few days.  I'll probably be a bit late, it's a long way from Salem,
    NH, and I can't leave early 8-(

    *too* quiet recently...

    PS- sorry, I can't make tonight's gathering, though I'm sure I'll meet
    Mike Valenza someday...
543.78the mystry guest was��WMOIS::B_REINKEbread&amp;rosesSat Dec 15 1990 18:349
    was Steve Mallett
    
    I'll try to put a party list together, Dan D'Eramo gave me
    one on a napkin and after introducing about 30 people I may
    be able to recall them all.
    
    what was especially nice was the folks from the christian-perspective
    file that mike v founded, that showed up and joined us (the mysterious
    group at the 4th table
543.79I wonder who said that?BLUMON::WAYLAY::GORDONWell, he has to sleep somewhere...Mon Dec 17 1990 10:564
	I had a great time.  It was good to see lots of other Noters, and I
got a new personal name out of the evening...

    RE: Doug
    
    I can imagine the personal names I would have been given based on the 
    present Eagles brought for me.
