Our next Social Event, following the Holiday Party, will be Saturday, January 18th. We’ll follow our usual format: a family style dinner starting at 4:30 pm at Ralph & Rich’s, 815 Main Street, Bridgeport where we will share a salad, three different entrees (chicken francaise, veal parm and broiled salmon), smashed potatoes, sauteed vegetables and Italian cookies and pastries for dessert—with coffee or tea.
Seating will be in a separate curtained off area and we will have our own dedicated waiter/waitress.
Throughout dinner there will be two choices of wine (one white; one red). For those who do not drink wine, soft drinks will be available. Mixed drinks or beer, if desired, must be paid for on your own at the bar. Likewise, if you wish to order anything else from the menu you will be asked to pay for it separately on your own.
As in past years, we will carpool to the restaurant—which provides us with 6 hours of free parking. However, to obtain free parking you must provide the desk with your license plate number upon entering.
The Total Mortgage Arena is a very short walk from the restaurant. The game starts at 7:00 pm and usually ends about 9:30. This year the Bridgeport Islanders, the top affiliate of the NHL New York Islanders, will be facing off against the Springfield Thunderbirds, the top affiliate of the NHL St. Louis Blues. Food (if you have any room), beverages, etc. are available for purchase on your own at the Arena.
Please note: it is best for the ladies to bring a clutch to the game (if necessary) as pocketbooks will be searched for security reasons.
Cost per person is $80. Make checks payable to “DMA”.
There will be a sign up sheet at our December 11 and 18 DMA meetings. Or, you may reserve by contacting Gehr Brown or Tom Lom. Attendance is limited to a maximum of 24.
