I like Benihana, too. You can put everybody at one big table, plus it's dinner and a show!

I move that we do Benihana on Sunday evening August 10th at 7PM. Mike can you make a reservation for us since you all probably have some pull with the hotel as the organiziers of the conference? Will everyone please let Mike know by June 27th if you plan to attend so that he can make the reservations? This will be Dutch treat I am assuming. (Sorry to be pushy, but we need to get on with this dinner if we are going to do it.)
Mike- Please mark me down for being there.
Looking forward to seeing all of you there:)

Okay, so we all know what we're getting into, here is a sample menu with prices at Benihana. These are the prices for the Benihana in San Diego. The Benihana in Vegas is a fancier and little more expensive, so we can pretty much plan out our menus and know approximately what we're going to spend. Lastly, we have to move the time a little later than 7:00, because I'll need some time after registration to get ready. So could we shoot for 7:30-7:45?
Also, I can wait until after the holiday (July 4th), so people don't have to think about it before. You can email me for your RSVP; you don't need to let me know what you want, that can wait till we get there.
And don't expect me to have any "pull" on the hotel. I'm just another joe with a party of (?), and will be treated as such.

I just saw Sunday...
My flight doesn't get in until 11pm... can we do Monday? I'm not sure how many people will be there Sunday night...? Maybe I'm the only one. I (unfortunately) have no control over my flight, our admin folks book everything.

Monday is the Med-Search Opening Reception. They usually have a decent spread, with drinks. We'd have to get a concensus.

I am open to what ever night. I know Munira was really wanting to do this as well. Any thoughts out there? Let's get organized and spread the word. We have work to do as a group and getting to know each other in a face to face informal meeting will help us to establish what we want to be when we grow up as an organization and possibly address Dale's concerns about "Is our profession expiring". Dale & Mike have provided great leadership and those of us who are active on this board need to step up to assist them in making our professional organization grow and prosper. I for one am stepping up, won't the rest of you join me in stepping up?
Let's set a date of June 30 to get the details completed and get people coming to this informal meeting of the regulars of this board.
Looking forward to meeting all of you face to face:)

Thank you Kathy,
Thank you for missing me...I really want to meet you all!
We have all voted on the restuarant now lets get to the day!!
Vote People!!!
I had planned on driving down on Monday but one more evening in Vegas isn't going to kill me. Lets get the concensus by July 6th (is it ok with you Mike) and see what day is good for you....I believe the program on Monday is light so I am good! Let's get the concensus I will start driving either day!
