2012 Christmas Party<br />
. "Due to member request there will be a <strong>Craig</strong> <strong>Hewitt</strong> <strong>IPMS</strong> <strong>Phoenix</strong> Christmas Party Saturday, Dec. 15, 6:00 PM at ,<br />
also due to member suggestion, the Deer Valley Airport Restaurant, 702 W. Deer Valley Rd., <strong>Phoenix</strong>. <strong>The</strong> restaurant is<br />
easily available off I-17 and on the NW corner with 7th Ave. <strong>The</strong>re is a website with map at www. DeerValleyAirportrestaurant.com.<br />
Like the House of Blue Lights there's fryers and broilers but there will be no Detroit barbeque ribs. Instead<br />
our members will be able 'fall in there' [ Deer Valley Airport Restaurant--not the House of Blue Lights] to order from a<br />
menu of five items: Roast Chicken, Roast Turkey, Hot Beef Sandwich, Ham Steak; each w/potato, vegetable, soup or<br />
salad and mini loaf. Spaghetti w/soup or salad is the fifth choice. All of the above comes with cake and soft drinks--John<br />
Barleycorn and all of his relatives are not on the premises (you can go to the House of Blue Lights in Detroit if you really<br />
need to meet John B!). <strong>The</strong> price for members is $18 which includes everything including tax and tip. <strong>The</strong> $18 will be<br />
paid by each member at the restaurant--there is no prepayment. We are asking party goers to sign up in advance so we<br />
can give a headcount to the restaurant. Signup sheets will be available at the <strong>Nov</strong>. 6 and Dec. 4 meetings. <strong>The</strong> program<br />
will consist of door prizes and the presentation of awards to the Modeler of the Year 2012 and the Member of the Year<br />
2012. If you have questions about the party, contact Chuck Ludwig--if you plan to go the House of Blue Lights in Detroit,<br />
contact AAA..<br />
