Jan 22 - Third NSXCA Midwest Region Annual Dinner

[nsxtasy]

We will be hosting the Third NSX Club of America Midwest Region Annual Dinner on Saturday, January 22, 2005:

Black Ram
1414 Oakton Street
Des Plaines IL 60018
847-824-1227

If you are interested in checking out the Black Ram's menu, and/or getting directions to the restaurant, you can find them on the restaurant's website.

We will meet at 6:30 pm for cocktails, and sit down for dinner at about 7:30. Attire is casual to business casual.

The NSX Club of America will subsidize a portion of the dinner cost for club members and spouses/guests. If you are not yet a member of the NSX Club of America, go to the club website for information on joining.

If you are planning to join us, please send me a private message by Friday, January 14, so that I can keep track of the number of people on the reservation.

This is a great time to meet up with old friends, as well as meet new friends, especially in the winter when many of us have our NSX in hibernation. We are pleased to be returning to the Black Ram again this year. They specialize in steaks and seafood (including terrific prime rib - yum! ). Their gracious hospitality in the past will again be on display. (The owner is a former NSX owner.) We will be returning to the Board Room, pictured on their website (but Donald Trump will not be there to fire anyone ).

Hope to see you there!

Treasurer, NSX Club of America

Hey guy, 350 is nothing. I'm attending and I live in Overland Park, KS.

Re: Jan 22 - Dinner weather

Hey guy, 350 is nothing. I'm attending and I live in Overland Park, KS.

Hope everyone has a safe drive out...

Dinner is ON, regardless of weather conditions ??

 

[nsxtasy]

Obviously, the weather isn't great. The dinner will still take place. If you can't make it, and you can let me know ahead of time, please do, so we can adjust the table setting (and if you can't let me know, don't worry about it). Those who can make it, look forward to seeing you there - drive safely!

 

[MarkB]

I'm already in town.

 

[nsx1164]

If you can't make it, and you can let me know ahead of time, please do, so we can adjust the table setting (and if you can't let me know, don't worry about it).

Unfortunately we can't make it out tonight. Everyone have a safe drive, and a GREAT dinner !!

 

[YellowNSX]

Thanks everyone for a good time. Mark, It was great that you could make it here, So nice to meet a fellow Yellow NSXer. Thank you all who didn't attend as all of the ones who did got prizes. Thank you Tire Rack for the set of Tires, But I was not informed as to the make. Are they the RE 010 or the AO22? either way..Thank you. Ken, maybe you can find out :wink:

 

[plumcraezy]

Thanks Ken for another great event! Winning the tires could not have come at a better time. I needed to get some new tires before the spring anyway.

 

[MarkB]

I was going to post when I returned to my Hotel but, after the drink, merriment, and excitement of a new set of tires, I was so exhausted, I just fell asleep.

 

[Meeyatch1]

I would like to attend, but 350 miles is a tad too far......Waah.

350 miles is like a drive around the block.

 

[Meeyatch1]

Who all won tires?? Did Rae and Mark BOTH win a set??

 

[nsxtasy]

I think those who won the tires should thank all those who were planning to attend but had to back out (due to the weather and/or other reasons), thereby increasing their odds of winning.

Thank you to the Tire Rack for supporting our event!
