Fellow Seveners...

Did you know that it's Dickinson College graduation the weekend of May 17th?!? This limits our dining options (and as you may have already realized, your housing options).

However, there are 2 places that have openings for us (and are willing to take a reservation) after the show on Saturday May 17th:

Chilis of Carlisle
Yes, the chain. The nice thing is that they are willing to take a reservation for a group. Parts of parking lot are well in view of dining room...perhaps if we commit they can reserve those areas for us. Price: figure $20 per person (no alcohol)
IIRC, this is very close to 81 entrance ramp.

Allenberry Resort Buffet
Allenberry is a charming (or dated, depending on who you ask) little resort in nearby Boiling Springs. They have a buffet there for $28.95 plus tax and gratuity...figure $36/person. We can get a private room if enough people commit soon enough. Parking lot is well obscured from main road.

DINNER WILL BE AT 7 PM

As for the group drive, I will put together a route based on some local info (my brother lives there), but I will not be taking part...as my current car will be going to its new owner very shortly. I will also have my 2 kids (but no wife...she's working) that day/night.

Note that we will have some stickers and info to hand out. As for Club memberships, we were thinking of having an open enrollment period from June 7 to Aug 7 to simply matters for the officers, but will be open to taking checks and info sheets at the Carlisle event.

I'm going to set up a poll to see where people would rather eat. If you are committed to dining with us, please post the number in your part in this thread. See you all soon.

P.S. It's only starting to dawn on me that I'm going to be "out of the saddle" soon...:cry:

One, maybe 2, could be 3 (if eVox would ever get back to me). I will be heading back to VA that night (then AL Sunday), so can't be out to late.

Someone has to vote for local fare. But I'll be happy anywhere there are other Seveners. :)

I'll most likely be 1.

I also like local fare, I will be 1 as well. A friend with the Europa will likely join us. I'm not big on buffets, but will go with all. I plan on Friday & Saturday and depart early Sunday.

Looks like Chili's it is!

Not a bad choice, good access to 81 and good value. And a known quantity as far as food quality goes.

They technically don't take reservations, but said as long as I keep them posted via cell that day that they'll do their best to accommodate us. Looks like we'll have at least 15 people, probably closer to 20 or more when all is said and done. See you all soon.

Someone remember to bring a good digicam, please?!?
