EIM Meet-n-Eat in the QC - Saturday, Feb 23

Last year, when densan57 so graciously hosted us at their place in Davenport for our February gathering, it was so warm and nice we were able to hang out in front in light jackets (see pic below for evidence). What are the odds we can "roll a seven" again this time?

This year's Meet-n-Eat is at the same location, and will happen on Saturday, February 23rd. Plan on arriving between 10:30 and 11:00 am.

The location (including a map link) and other details can be found in the Event Calendar Entry as well as the RSVP link to let us know you're coming. Please do RSVP so our hosts have the courtesy of an expected head count.

Bringing something to share is not necessary but greatly appreciated. If you plan on doing so, leave a reply in this thread with the identity of your item so we can orchestrate a nice variety.

Many, many thanks to Denny and Sandy for their generosity!

An addendum to original post Re: Meet N Eat in the QC.
We (and Steve and Juli) are providing the sandwiches and drinks, so snacks, salads, or desserts would be appreciated but it is not necessary for everyone to bring something.
We are really looking forward to seeing everyone in February. We will do our best to have a repeat of last years weather.

FYI: For the OCMD among us (you know who you are) there is a Super Wash Car Wash less than a mile from our house at 2128 W. Kimberly Rd. in the HyVee complex on the east side. It seems to be pretty nice with 2 touchless washes and 3 bays for DIY.

Yes, we know who we are.

This is good to know. Last year 05MINI and I were flying blind and ended up at the Jersey Ridge Car Wash, which is a lot farther away than the Super Wash. So far, in fact, that ROHERYN practically needed another bath by the time we got to West 46th.

Everything sounds great. I think we are going to have to watch the weather closely. Looks like a major weather event is about to occur. Should have had it today maybe!

Yetti, Chris, and I will be there with MONSTER cookies. Yetti is our car and eats very little.
Thanks so much! Jerry

Yep, everything should be fine by Saturday (other than the impossibility of keeping the MINI clean ).

See you there.

Sure great to see everyone today! Turned out to be a beautiful February Iowa day.

Here's a link to some pics - http://www.flickr.com/photos/gmm57/s...7632838072401/

A million thanks to densan57 for being such wonderful and generous hosts today! Thanks also to sdbryant for the tasty brew, and to everyone who brought along yummy stuff to share.

Spring is less than a month away.

Thanks to everyone for coming to our home and bringing such a wonderful selection of goodies. We had a great time, and hope you all did too. Always nice to see old friends and meet some new ones.
Your pictures are perfect, as usual, Gary.
