Totally Turning Saturday Dinner -- Last Call

Brad Vietje

Hi Folks,

For those of you headed to Saratoga next weekend for the Totally Turning symposium & Woodworker's showcase, I've been agitating for a Wood Central group dinner for Saturday, April 2nd. We've got 14 confirmed, and we're looking for a few more to join us. If we get to 20, we can not only reserve a private room (which we might get anyway), but we would have the option to save a few bucks with a buffet table instead of ordering off the menu.

My brother a chef at Gaffney's, just a few hundred yards from the Saratoga City Center, and he called today to firm up our plans. If you are going to Saratoga, would you consider joining our group?

Please respond with an e-mail back to me: greenworksvt@gmail.com with your name, # in your party, and if possible, a cell # that you might have with you in Saratoga.

Thank you kindly, and safe spinning,

Brad Vietje

Dinner Details -- Please take a peek!

Hi All,

We now have over 20 people committed, and possibly a few more.

If we go with a buffet, it will be $29.95/person, including everything except alcoholic drinks (of which there just could be a few...) Booze is separate, on your own dime, and ordered from the bar.

They have some really nice offerings, and I know the food is very good there. My brother has cooked there on & off for about 25 years (the offs were when he was the head chef at other places in town). The menu options are found here, on their catering page:

If people in our group have any super-strong preferences for menu items, or just want to be sure we have a few good vegetarian offerings, etc..., please let me know ASAP via e-mail to greenworksvt@gmail.com. We have to select items from their menu, so I'll have to make choices real soon.

Safe spinning,

Dinner is at 6:30 Saturday

We'll have to meet at an obvious place in the city center for those that want to walk over as a group. Otherwise, we could congregate at Gaffney's (on Caroline St.) and get started at the bar (?)

Gaffney's is across a big parking lot and down a very short street. Here's the map of downtown:


I don't have a working cell phone at the moment, so I may need help herding people at 6 PM to head over.

BTW: we're now committed, and I'm on the hook for $600 for dinner if you don't show, so please don't back out now!

Safe spinning,

Thanks for doing this, Brad

We haven't had a WoodCentral get-together in quite a while, and Gaffney's sounds like a wonderful place to do it. See you there.
