Dining Out SIG
Join Mary after TGIF for dinner at Yanni’s Greek restaurant, 7419 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, 206-783-6945. With any luck, there will be belly dancers or perhaps acoustic guitar music, but there's no way to know in advance. This is advertised as a moderately priced restaurant. Please RSVP to Mary (yeomama%msn.com – see Email) no later than May 1 and tell her if you are going to attend so she can finalize and confirm the reservation the day before to ensure there is enough space for all who want to attend. Please bring cash or credit card; most restaurants no longer take checks.

Women's Bathroom SIG
Join us to discuss women's issues. Bring a snack or beverage to share; chocolate is especially welcome. Confidentiality is an absolute requirement. Adult women are welcome.
The April meeting will be at Susan's in Seattle; contact her for information or directions. Topic: "Six-Word Memoir." One idea was to bring them written out, put them into a basket, pick one at random and see if we can identify who wrote it. Or maybe we will just read them. A recent newspaper article had some examples from the book "Not Quite What I Was Planning." Bring your own.

Peninsula Lunch Bunch
Mensans meet on the third Saturday to gab, grub and enjoy each other.
Alderwood Bistro, 139 W Alder St in Sequim. The Bistro serves salads and sandwiches based on organic, local and seasonal ingredients and cooks over wood fires. From Hwy 101, take the Sequim Ave exit, go north toward the Straits, pass Washington St, go 3 blocks, turn left on Alder St. Look for a disreputable old VW van in the parking lot, and a reputable "seasoned citizen" with a ToteMs in his possession in the restaurant.

Big Trains Little Trains SIG
Long trains that roll endlessly by while the highway crossing bell peals for what seems like forever and several days. But, we're not container truck drivers waiting at Royal Brougham Way. We're rail buffs for whom the names on the train evoke memories and dreams of faraway places. Live the romance, vicariously if need be. At Joe's, near Carnation. |
