Spent a good part of yesterday scouting out restaurants for our September Dine-Around, as I'm "in charge" this time. Decided Atlantic County may be a bit far to go for some, so went to Manahawkin. First venues wouldn't accept a group of 20 to 25 and the second closed early on Sundays, so we'd probably have to have it on a weekday--not ideal.
I finally settled on Spiaggia e Luna ("Moon Over The Beach") in Barnegat. I had been there last several years ago with my friend, Peg, and as I recall, the food was good and the setting pleasant. I talked to the owner, Jon, and we settled on an all-inclusive price, with a choice of five entrees.
Spent a fair amount of time when I got home making a flyer that I'll be delivering to the other 32 members. I put on some clip art which includes an Italian flag, and pertinant information, such as directions and BYOB. Yoicks, I hope they don't all respond in the affirmative, as I told Jon there'd be 20 to 25. Now I just have to duplicate the flyer--think I'll do it at Staples, instead of on my own printer--and distribute them.
Will meet Betty at the cemetery today, as it's the thirty-eighth anniversary of her husband's death. Boy, these anniversaries are not the fun kind; coming up is her son's anniversary of eight years.
