August

August 28th - MS Dixie Tahoe Diner Cruise Hosted by Rob & Peggy Sue Croswhite
This run is shaping up as a drive to the lake, dinner and dancing on the Dixie, and for those who wish stay overnight and drive home the following day. More info to follow as it becomes available.
• The MS Dixie Dinner Cruise run will be on Saturday, August 28, 2010.
• Parking at the Zephyr Cove Resort is $8 per car. (I have no idea how big or what the surface of the lot is.)
• We can utilize their shuttle service for $6 per person. They will pick up and drop off at many of the hotels in town. (Reservations must be made to utilize this service so your decision can’t be made at the last minute.)
• We will board the boat at 5:30 and disembark at 9:00.
• Our reservations are for the first seating.
• I've reserved a sit down meal that includes shrimp cocktail, garlic bread, Caesar salad, 4 entrees to choose from and dessert. Please keep in mind that the menu specifics are subject to change at the discretion of the company.
• The cost of dinner is $59 per person. Tax and gratuity are included.
• There is a no host bar.
• Live music is provided.
• As I have to pay a non-refundable deposit by 6/15 I will be collecting payment in full at Tuesday night’s meeting.
• All checks need to be made out to me (Peggy Sue Croswhite) as I’ll pay Lake Tahoe Cruises using my credit card.
• There will be NO refunds on this event. If you decide you don’t want to or can’t go for some reason please feel free to find someone else in the club to take your place. It would be nice if you could let me know but the transaction would be between you and them.
• If you can’t make it to the meeting but want to go please shoot me an email letting me know then pop a check in the mail to me. (3700 Springer Road, Placerville, CA 95667)
• I haven’t and don’t intend to reserve any hotel rooms as the 6 places I’ve called will not hold less than a block of 15 rooms that time of year.
• Be aware that many, but not all, hotels up there require a 2 night stay during summer months.
• If you plan to spent the night up there I’d recommend you make your lodging arrangements very soon.

In summary, the shuttle & cruise is $65 per person or $130 per couple. I’ll be collecting payment in full at Tuesday’s meeting. There will be no refunds. Email Peggy Sue
