So who's coming out?!?!?!
:party:

Tony/.
2007 ARC President

AARRRR!! Join me in a plunderin spree an' sail de high seas! (http://walkmyplank.net/signup.php?ref=384)




** A Member and their immediate family... Only one person in your party is required to be an ARC member. Total estimated costs to the ARC is ~$36 per person.

- Please note that D&B House Policies require that guests under the age of 21 must be accompanied by their parent or a guardian 25years of age or older.

Great. I'll be Franklin and you can be Pigpen.

You know I'll be there... Now that I think about it, I wonder how many people that will turn off from the event.


I got it! I might be there.. yeah..

alrad paid

Since Danny is peeking at this thread right now he can be Linus.

What, is Lucy already taken?

Alright!!!!!!! I'm so there!


Was there a fat peanuts character that was overzealous and loud?

If so, I'm so HIM! YEAAAAAA!!!!!!!

OHHH Yeah!!! LOL!

What we're eating! :D

- Lemon herb grilled chicken breast served with a Chardonnay herb cream sauce
- Grilled shrimp skewers glazed with garlic butter
- Spinach mushroom salad
- Lunguini with garlic butter
- Garden vegetable medley
- Sauteed green beans
- Fresh baked rolls

Our space opens up and food is out at 7:00PM

And then there was poor Charlie Brown all alone on Christmas night....wait, what do I hear??? I hear Linus and Pigpen, Franklin and Joey, and there's Lucy and Patti and Sally and Snoopy - they are a walking to Charlie to say Merry Christmas and come join the party at Dave and Busters - we hear tell that many of their friends from the ARC will be on hand to give each a whirl and to have a chance to win some great fish prizes. So Charlie breaks down in tears of happiness as he realizes that he does have friends and the true meaning of the season.

So on this note, count me in.

This will be the best Holiday Party in ARC history!

i will be there tony can i pay then or do i have to pay in advance cause i am not sure if my wife is going to come or not

Yeah Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to be Peppermint Patty, pleaseohpleaseohplease!

This is going to be a blast. My wife is the 2001 West Coast Skee Ball Champion and I am in the Guiness Book of World Records for most consecutive wins on a 'claw' machine.

No, not really. But I'm all over that giant claw machine.

I'll be there... But I want to be the great pumpkin... Oh wait, wrong C. Brown story...

In order to make sure that we have enough food in the buffet, we'll need to get a good head count before the night of the party. Collecting the $15 per person gives us a solid count.
Also remember that we need to have final numbers into D&B by December 11th so please reserve your seat as early as possible.

will do

do we have any pool tables thats paid for? If yes then we can start some kind of pool tourny and I'll bring some really awesome prizes to give out for the winner.

That depends on how many people show up... They cover the tables for seating space if we need it. The space we reserved can seat up to 92 I believe (with tables covered). If we have the room to open then up then we definitely will. We won't know the chances until we start to get spots reserved through PayPal.

How do you pay if you dont have pay pal?

Thanks Jeff!

I'm gauging interest to see if anyone here is interested in a billiard/pool tournament. I will bring a moded Berlin XL skimmer to give out to the winner. I think everyone can donate a few bucks to help cover the cost of the table, and bring like a frag or something small to participate. The winner of will get first pick from the prizes and then 2nd, 3rd etc. gets their choice. This way everyone go home a winner.

Anyone interested??

ouling i would like to pay but money is tight i can bring a frag or something

I love the idea of doing this, but maybe on a different day? This meeting is going from 7:00 - 10:00 and a good portion of that will be the dinner. I used to be in a women's pool league and even a single-elimination tourney can take quite awhile.

OK I paid so when do we eat LOL see e1 then.

Alright, here is a couple of things that are not very good.
1. I dont have paypal
2. Im 15 and cannot drive (leagally by myself)to this event. My dad as most of you know if my form of transportation. Can he come and hang out, supervise me, but he will pay way in and such?
Im sure you guys understand. Hope to see you all there!

Hope you can make it; however, D&B House Policies require that guests under the age of 21 must be accompanied by their parent or a guardian 25 years of age or older. So your dad would have to come with you and both of you would have to pay $15 each to attend.

As to don't have paypal, see Tony's reply to the thread (the one that has a screenshot attached to it) - it shows how to pay by credit card.

So he can come even though hes is not a member?

Correct.
** A Member and their immediate family... Only one person in your party is required to be an ARC member.

Yes, he can come. Tony's first posting states " ** A Member and their immediate family... Only one person in your party is required to be an ARC member. Total estimated costs to the ARC is ~$36 per person."

So since you are a member, you can bring your dad - you just got to pay for the both of you to attend.

Correct.
[/i]

Sorry Tony - was replying at the same time you were to TriGA22's question.

Thanks so much! Cant wait to see you there!

i will be there and hopefully i can get my wife to come along, so i will paypal in the morning to lazy tonite to do it but am for sure there. 2 seats for sure. sal

Just paid for me and the old pops.
One last question. Is the 15.00 to get in and food. Or is there more?

Just paid mine! Can't wait to meet everyone--so--how many people does that make that are coming?? Anyone have a headcount?

Is the 15.00 to get in and food. Or is there more?
That's it... alcohol and games will be on you. I'd like to get some game cards to use as prizes but need to check on some things first.


Anyone have a headcount?

Current headcount as of now is 22.

Please try to get your registrations in ASAP. If we do not reach our target of 60 by December 11th we will have to cut back and will not be able to guarantee there will be enough food available if you showup the night of without a reservation.

just paid mine ...so thats23 ..tony do you now who pays or do we have to bring proof

Add two more - we will be there with bells on. Oh wait maybe that is jsut the ringing in my ears. Either way I'm there!

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g34/xaoss23/DB.jpgTo reserve your spot, please click the following link to PayPal.

This link is not showing up on my screen. Probably blocked out by the filters here @ work, although I see the other links on this post.

Could a B.o.D. who has access to the club's Paypal account either send me an invoice (for 3 Holiday Dinners = $45 to linda.lowery@hotmail.com) or PM me the ARC paypal address? Is it treasurer@arc.org? I'd like to go ahead and take care of this.

Also, please remember to respond to the nametag post (http://www.atlantareefclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10063) if you want a nametag for this and subsequent meetings. Nametags will be available @ the party. I'll post a list soon of those requesting tags. There are some who posted things like *great idea*, but unless you said something indicating you want one made, you're not on the list. Also, remember that I'll be using whatever avatar you have on your profile unless you tell me otherwise.

See you on the 18th!

The link is the "Pay now" button just below that sentence.

We will have record of those that paid at sign in.

The PayPal address is treasurer@atlantareefclub.org

I'll just do it the old fashioned way.

Looking forward to this evening!!

If you can view the PayNow button from home it would be easier to track internally that way. Otherwise two guests @$30 would look exactly the same as membership dues. Using the button enters it into the system as an invoice and looks different from within PayPal.

Oooops... I already did it.

It's for $45 ... 3 dinners, and I was descriptive with the payment. Hope it's okay.

:confused: just paid mine ...so thats23 ..tony do you now who pays or do we have to bring proof

:confused:
There will be a list @ the door.

oh i missed that thanks linda

Sorry guys, love to come, but can't make Tuesday. Weekdays are tough, especially this time of year.

Just paid to attend - yippee.

Looks like on the actual announcement there is a button (orange) that says "Pay Now"....This sounds like a great menu! Thanks for organizing this.

Just a followup reminder... please get your payments in ASAP. The deadline is tomorrow (Monday, December 10th).

As of now, we only have 35people signed up to attend. It looks like we may have to cut back on our reservation headcount. We have to contact Dave & Busters on Tuesday for a final count.

maybe people need another e-mail reminding them of the deadline - I just saw Bruce and did not know of the deadline.

well that was quick. I got the e-mail within 3 minutes of posting.

lol... I was already typing up the email when I posted the reminder :)

What do we bring to get in? Our membership card? How do you know we payed?

Who is responsible for formulating the list of paid members. I paid using my roomie's paypal, will need to verify who I am.....

I am... I was somewhat expecting that people would use their own email address or payment method. For your case, I guess you can just sign in under your roommates name.

Sorry to screw things up!

No big deal... we'll survive with a few exceptions here and there.
It's not an issue.

Paid...see everyone there!

Paid see ya there

I paid but not sure if I'll be able to attend...have family flying in at 6 that day. Well if I can't, happy donation to ARC.

looking forward to seeing everyone at the dinner,it must be special my wife is coming along,and my partner mistergn10

mike is coming this is special lol

ya i told him to quit being lazy and get up and see the club, mike i now you're looking at this.tosh said thanks for going along to pick her up tonight.

tony what is our total head count ,tony?

Please count me in (Shaned) along with one guest (new ARC member). I've paid twice for both of us.

Thanks,
Shane

Signed up for two...

Just wanted to send out a note to all officers and BoD members - both current and upcoming - everyone has to pay the $15/person to come to the party. We're members, too, and D&B doesn't give us a break, so everyone needs to pay the same amount.

We're currently right at 60 people. If you haven't paid already, please get it in ASAP so we can give D&B the final count.

See everyone there!

:party:

Total current count is 64!!! With these projected numbers, we've already doubled our turnout from last year!
We've allotted a couple extra spots for last minute reservations. If you're planning on attending, please get your payments in ASAP so we can account for any overages and plan accordingly.
Thanks to everyone who has already signed up! We'll see you all there!

i will send payment for 2 on friday for sure

Paid at 12:10, 10 minutes after the deadline! That's fashionably late!

I paid on the last day to get in for one :) See you all at the party

I'm still not sure if I would be available that day. Is it possible at all to pay later or even at the door???

Same for me. I'd like to go, but the call has to wait until the day of because of possible work requirements.

...will not be able to guarantee there will be enough food available if you showup the night of without a reservation.

obviously, we'll do what we can for trying to add more food but Dave & Busters time requirements have already past. The process of taking the $15 reservation was to get a solid count of how many people would actually be there. We added a couple extra spots to cover ourselves but cannot afford to add 20extra spots at $36 each "just in case" then have only 3-4more people show up.
If we reach the limits and run out of food/space we will work with the D&B management the best we can when that time comes. That's something that is completely out of our hands and we will deal with it then (if needed).

Lets just rent someplace and Ill cook :)

Tony, I totally understand the requirements for informing Dave and Busters. I have no problem with getting my own food, unless space becomes an issue.

lol... a little late for that one Russ ;)

I don't think it should be an issue George. Our space can handle up to 90 and worse case we can order more food from the menu. Like I mentioned, we'll deal with that the evening of if it even is a problem.

I reserved 3 spots and one of those is for my 14 year old. He'd probably prefer just ordering a burger from the menu, so I'm willing to trade his *big dinner* that we reserved to someone who wants to pick up his smaller tab.

linda consider it done

Paid at 12:10, 10 minutes after the deadline! That's fashionably late!

Better late than never I say. Glad you are able to come and enjoy the party! Just don't come between me and my grilled shrimp and air hockey.

Guys/gals...I've got family flying in and am not going to make it. I'm paid up so if there is someone that needs a spot, PM me. We can work something out regarding the payment (cash/paypal/trade, etc)

Tony, keep that in mind if someone wants to come but there are no more slots.

Just FYI....

For those of us "OF AGE"... I will be there between 5:30 and 6:00 enjoying their 1/2 price drink specials that run until 7:00 PM.

This should be a very fun event... can't wait to see everyone there.

i will be there also =):cheers:

I'm a new member and would like to go along with my GF.

I read the exchange with George and Ouling and wanted to check to see if it is okay to come and pay at the door -- I don't mind paying any fees necessary. I just need the support in getting my reef tanks up and running and want to meet the lovely folks at the ARC!

Thanks!

(I paid for the membership at the last meeting and I am supposed to get my official card at this meeting, btw)

I did not know this!! Definitely going to be there to get an early start on this.

I know the rules of running a restaurant, so the D&B reservation thing is understandable. But I'm sure the management wouldn't refuse in making more money, if we show up and want to buy more, they will try to do their best to accommodate us.

$15 isn't much as for reserving something, I would gladly pay for it in advance even if I didn't know my schedule for that day. However, I am bringing someone else; loosing $30 to a missed reservation is another story though.

But I'm sure the management wouldn't refuse in making more money, if we show up and want to buy more, they will try to do their best to accommodate us.

The food for their parities is ordered 5-7 days ahead of time and shipped in, so they can't accommodate off the same menu.

However, if the manager OKs it when we're there, then any extra people will be able to order off the regular D&B menu.

Won't it be cold? :o

Nope- we had them pack it in those styrofoam fish boxes and put some of those little heat packs in there... :)

hey kevin--i'm coming up all the way from rome--I'll prob. see you a little earlier for happy hour--one question, though, as I am new to ARC, and never evenbeen to one meeting, how am I sapposed to know where to go?? Are there going to be signs pointing the way to our area? Also, kevin, will you be in our reserved area? or out and about? Just would like to meet some fellow (saltwater) reefers as well. Lookforward to the party!

hey eric you can car pool with me if you like

great--pm to be sent

Ok, it looks like we may be able to make it as well. Don't know for sure until last minute. (Hubby has to go work in Auburn that day)

Couple questions-
I have a 3 and a 2 year old. Can they come? If so, do I have to pay 15 for them too?

Also, if the boys CAN come, but Dennis is still out of town, can I bring by friend to help with the boys? She isn't going to eat, but I'll still pay for her. I just know that I can't handle both of those guys by myself and still socialize (and drive home).

i think the dead line is over but you can buy your own meal correct me if im wrong anyone .either way hope your there

There's a chance I can make it. Has a way to pay at the door been determined?

I am going to be there 100%.
