EIM January Meet-n-Eat -- 1/23 at Wig and Pen, Iowa City

See calendar info at the link below for details and RSVPs:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...2010-1-23&c=21

We'd like a good headcount NLT a couple of days prior so that the restaurant can accommodate us.

Hope you can make it.

Looks like I am not going to make it after all. Gym has launches of new material on Sunday and I have practice for teaching on Saturday at 11:30 so no Wig & pen for me :( Unfortunately work trumps fun :(

Which btw, if you live in IC and want to come out to a class at Core Fitness in Iowa City or North Liberty, let me know. I teach Monday nights and can get you in to my class and can probably snag you a free pass for the day. And all of our new launch dates are open to the public.

Sorry you won't be there! I was looking forward to telling you in person how much I like the new website. You did a great job, thanks!

Content without the capability would be the same as no content at all...

It was great getting together with everyone at Wig and Pen! Nice showing of MINIs on such a cold and rainy winter day.

Congrats to the game winners -- Miah, Maria, Bill, and Tom (or was is Linda?) Glad you had fun with it.

Here are a few pictures for your viewing enjoyment:

(David, thanks much for the Hot Orange Cabrio!)

Hope to see everyone in Davenport on February 20th!

Gary,
Nice Cabrio! I'ved tried to take pics of my MINI's and can't get them to look as real as that does. Any ideas?

If you check out the photo gallery on the EIM Website, I've added a pic of the "guessing game" along with an itemized list of the items in the tray. Now you will NEVER forget them...
