Also, the last four entrees (listed just before “Drink Specials”) will change from week to week, also. I will call the Monday before to find out what these will be, if they know in advance.

The cost of the Brunch includes either coffee or soda with free refills. For those of you who might want to add them, there are “Drink Specials” that you can add to your bill, if you like.

We will be meeting in the RED ROOM. This will seat up to 35. Family (including children), Relatives and Friends are all welcome! We will seat in tables of 6, so there will be room to mingle around with all of your buddies! Lots of eyeball QSO’s!

Let’s make this the BIGGEST HOLIDAY BRUNCH in ARROW Communication Association history!

Hope to see you all there!
