Nothing until 5 today. I am going to the Executive Men’s Club for dinner. We allow women to join, but never got around to changing the name and our female members never seemed to care. I think they are waiting until all of the printed materials we have made up are used. We’re having our seafood dinner tonight. This includes: shrimp (different varieties), calamari, lobster tails, blue crabs, scallops, clams, oysters (from somewhere out of the country), fish include: cod, black tip shark, flounder, haddock, salmon, halibut and from Alaska “reindeer sausage.” I never had that, so I’m looking forward to it. There’s more, but I forget some of it and am too lazy right now to get up and get the menu.
I hope you are sitting down to read the price. The cost is $300 per person, plus your alcohol. (And that isn’t cheap either.)
If you or your guest can’t eat seafood, they are also serving some kind of chicken and beef tenderloins. You had to buy your tickets 2 weeks ago or at the door, the price goes to $400. The first $200 goes to pay for the food and the remainder is donated to a local charity. I think the charity this year is split 50/50 between youth athletic clubs in our area and the SPCA for maintenance only. None of the money may be used to euthanize any animals, but we all knows how that works out.
They begin serving at 4 and stop serving at 9 tonight. Anything left over gets sold at cost to members tomorrow. Overall, I think they do really well financially.You don’t have to be a member to join in on this event since it’s counted as a charity event. You can either be served or there is waitress service available. Same for the bar. You can go get your own drink or have a waitress bring it to you. It’s a fun time.
