2012 Club Banquet

The banquet is Saturday, January 21nd at 6:00 PM until 10:00 PM. Dinner starts at 7:00 but the cash bar opens at 6:00. The banquet will be at the Crowne Plaza hotel on Bonney Road. The address is 4453 Bonney Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23462. Here's a map: http://goo.gl/maps/s28k
There are two menus--beef or chicken. The beef menu is Roast Beef--Herb crusted Black Angus Roast Beef, thinly sliced and topped with pan gravy. The Chicken dinner is Chicken Chausser (Hunter's Style) which is Sauteed Chicken breast simmered with a rich sauce of tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms and fresh herbs. Both meals also include an appropriate starch and vegetable. You may make your choice when you RSVP for the banquet.
The cost is ten dollars for club members and fifteen dollars for non-members. You may bring as many guests as you like. (The total cost per person to the club is about $23.00 and the club will subsidize the difference.)
We need a head count by Jan 15th. These banquets are always very popular with the club members and you will not want to be the only person in the club that doesn't go! Please take a minute to reserve your place for you and your guests today. After making the reservation, you will be given the option of paying via PayPal or you may pay in person at the Jan 4th membership meeting. If you choose to pay via PayPal, you will not need to have a PayPal account--just a credit card. The RSVP page is right here: http://vabeachphotoclub.org/BanquetRegistration
Looking forward to seeing you there!
