So Mrs. Driller and I, along with those left over at Carlisle on Monday, made the following plans for our banquet for 2010 (which included getting us a block of rooms at a discounted rate):
Saturday, June 5, 2010 at 7:30 PM
Comfort Inn Suites - Carlisle
Banquet will be held out on the patio, but if there is inclement weather, we will be indoors in the restaurant area separated from others.
Menu & Price: Note: Tax and Tip are included in price, and will need to be paid to LOD at least 1 week prior to event - we'll work on those details later:
Chicken Cordon Bleu (or vegetarian meal - specify) - 28.70
Slow Roasted Prime Rib with Au Jus - 36.20
Combination Petite Filet Mignon and Crab Cake - 38.70
All meals come with:
Mixed garden greens with choice of two dressings
Twice Baked Potatoes
Peas and Carrots
Rolls and Butter
Chef's Selection of Desserts
Coffee, Tea, Decaf Coffee and Iced Tea
Alcohol must be purchased at the bar. HOWEVER, I saw that we can order kegs, so perhaps those of us who would like beer with and after our meal could chip in to get a keg? Prices are: 1/2 keg domestic 125, imported 170. (1/4 keg 90 and 125 respective). Perhaps someone can purchase the keg(s) and those who drink chip in? Or any other ideas?
The other thing up in the air is appetizers. Would we want them and how would we pay for them? Poll? Add to prices listed above? Someone donates? Here were some of my choices for appetizers that I thought would work and were not incredibly expensive. Note that prices are for 100 pieces, and we could split the order but there would be an additional charge (ie, 1/2 price, but with a surcharge of X dollars).
Tri-colored tortilla chips w/ nacho cheese and salsa - 85.00
Fresh vegetable crudite accompanied by Ranch Dressing 140.00
Deviled Eggs - 65
Spinach and Artichoke Dip w/ tortilla chips - 90
Boursin Cheese Crisps (french baguettes w/ boursin cheese and bacon spread, toasted) - 85
Spring Rolls (choice of vegetable or crab and shrimp) - 120
Comments/questions/ideas welcome. However, banquet is set, so no change on that. Additionally, please note that when I begged for 3 choices instead of 2, the planner agreed to it. There was no plain fish option, and the group of us tried to get a varied menu to hopefully please as many people as possible.
Also, still working on Friday night dinner, will provide info when available.
