Hockey-L is to college hockey as ME-Hockey is to Maine hockey. Scores of Hockey-L subscribers go to most or all Frozen Fours, and over the past 11 years have had a get-together between semi-final games ... and this year is no exception. We have about 90 signed up for the Hockey-L Dinner, but have room for a few more. If you'd like to get together with friendly fans from all over North America, please signup, send in the $16 dinner fee by this Thursday, March 28, and join us. Others will wait in lines to get into the Wild Tymes Bar & Grill, but you'll be able walk right thru to our function rooms! Note: please follow Kathy's directions below, but be sure to include your e-mail address and that you are a NON-Hockey-L subscriber, as Dinner updates are normally just made on Hockey-L. Hockey-L is available at http://lists.maine.edu/archives/hockey-l.html What follows is a compendium of recent announcements from Kathy Martin, our St Paul PLANNING PRINCESS (a title of her making, not mine!) :-) I hope to see you there! cheers, wayne ======================================================================= When: Thursday, April 4th between 1st and 2nd game Where: Wild Tymes Bar and Grill Location: 2 blocks from Xcel Energy Center Cost: $16.00 per person (kids 12 and under are free - as long as we get 95 adults. If not, then I will need a contribution for them. We can deal with that at the bar.) The rooms will hold 120 - so invite friends. Payment Due Date: Please have checks in the mail by Thursday, March 28th to ensure they get to me before Tuesday, April 2nd. Menu: (you will be able to choose from - or have all!) Caesar Salad Chicken Stir Fry Salad BBQ Meatballs Turkey Tortilla Sandwich Wraps Assorted one topping meat pizzas Veggie pizzas Cookies and Rice Crispie Bars for dessert. Please send checks payable to Kathy Martin 3540 Hennepin Ave. So. #204 Minneapolis, MN 55408 THIS IS THE INFO I NEED WITH YOUR PAYMENT: 1. The first AND last names of those you are reserving for. 2. Money for ALL those you are reserving for. Please don't send a name and say they will send a separate payment. If they need to write their own check, please send in one envelope, if possible. 3. Ticket Section number. 4. Your e-mail address so I can confirm that I got your check. 5. If you are NOT a Hockey-L subscriber, please mention it. More important info (this will be sent again later): YOU WILL NEED A NAME BADGE TO GET PAST THE HOSTESS STAND INTO THE ROOMS WE ARE USING. Badges will only be given to those who have paid IN ADVANCE. Which means by the end of the first game. Name badges have to be picked up DURING THE FIRST GAME, that is why I am asking for your section number. I want to pick a place that everyone can easily find me...and it can be the place we all meet between periods. (I figured this would be the most practical way to decide this since I am gathering info from everyone any way.) Whoever mails in the reservation will be responsible to pick up the badges for all those you list with your payment This will make it easier to hand them out at the arena as I can group them together. I will send out a note on April 1st giving directions on how to get to the bar from the arena and what to do when you get there. I think you are all going to like the facility. We have two rooms in the back, our own bar and a back way to the bathrooms! Not to mention that one of the eating areas is designated as a non-smoking area. AND if the weather is good, they will open up the patio for us too! HOCKEY!!!! -- GO GOPHERS!!! kam [log in to unmask]
