We've decided to hit the road again and change the meeting location for our March Meeting to Panera Bread bakery/cafe located in the La Centerra shopping center at 23501 Cinco Ranch Boulevard in Katy, TX 77494. The meeting will begin at 10 AM on March 7, 2009.
Panera Bread has several items on their breakfast menu (breakfast sandwiches, egg soufflés, and a yogurt parfait) and has some really great baked goods (bagels, muffins, and sweet rolls), plus several different coffees. They will be reserving a seating area that is on your left as you enter the front door. To get your food, you order at the counter - they will deliver it to your table. The drinks are self service.
Regarding parking, it may be hard to find an area out front of Panera Bread for our parking, but around the side (next to Westheimer Parkway) near the parking garage there is an area that looks suitable for our club parking en masse. And if the weather is inclement, we can move inside the parking garage and still be able to stay dry while talking and trading tips after the meeting.
For those going on the MiniFunDrives drive after the meeting, this location is approximately 6 miles or 10 minutes from your starting point. Of course you could come to the meeting, join the club, put in your nominations for the upcoming officers election, and enjoy the company of your fellow Miniacs instead of waiting for a rendezvous in a McDonalds parking lot - your choice!.
