Ladies Association of WaldenMarch 2013
A note from the Prez...Our February meeting was so very
good! The food was great and thespeaker even better! The only badthing about the speaker was theamount of time available for him to talk.We could have let him speak to us forhours!
Our next meeting is the Follies. Ihope you have your tickets! If not, youcan still check to see if any are avail-able. Remember it is Friday, March 8th
not the 1st. I am sure it will be a very good show with avery nice lunch.
On Thursday, May 9th, plan to spend the day shop-ping and dining! The Ladies Association is going to theCypress Outlet Mall followed by a lunch stop at Alicia’sMexican Grille.
The outlet mall has 145 shops! That should keep usbusy for quite a while. The mall also has a small food courtfor drinks and snacks. We will shop from 10:00 to about12:45 and then head to the restaurant. The restaurant hasa lunch menu this is priced from $6.95 to $9.95.
I have chartered a bus to leave the Yacht Club at9:00 a.m. and return about 3:00 p.m. A number of ladiesrequested this trip, so get signed up! We will have just onebus with a maximum of 55 people.
A few people have asked why a Thurs-day instead of a Friday. On Friday, the traf-fic coming home would be much heavier,the outlet mall more crowded and the Fri-day lunch crowd is much busier! So toavoid that, I chose a Thursday. The cost is$5.00 and includes transportation andsnacks both ways.
Send me an email at:[email protected]. I will reply
that I received your email. At the Marchmeeting, I will have a table set up to takeyour $5. So get your reservation in to me.Right now, we are only taking Ladies Asso-ciation members. You can waitlist yourfriends and I will let you know a few daysprior if there is room.See you at the Follies, March 8th!
Linda Sustman
I hope that all of you have made yourreservations for the Follies. No need to tellyou that this is always a fun program andthat Rick will provide a delicious meal!

SOCIAL BITES ate family style thispast month at Buca dePeepa Restraurant. The hard-est thing about the outing was deciding what dishesto eat. The final decision was to begin with the newBuca salad with garlic cheese bread followed by thechicken manicotti entre. The large plated salad wasnot only beautiful to see but delightful to taste. Thekitchen mistakenly sent out a “small” order of mani-cotti in place of the “large”. The mistake was imme-diately rectified with a second “small” order. Actually,the small order could have been enough, but whocould turn down a second heaping. Including gratu-ity, the group split the ticket at $15.00 each. It was adecided bargain for the excellent quality of food andservice, not to mention the good company. --SandyBarron
ALMOST HOMEMADE will meet on March21st at the home of Peggy Myers. She will bemaking an old family favorite--Beef Stew -something she would not have made if she hadto transport it to another home.
