Bricks Restaurant & Wine Bar

I want to start off by thanking Wendy & Iain Buxton for the Extra, "EXTRA", special evening they arranged for the RJC at the Bricks Restaurant in Reno, Nevada!

The evening was PERFECT!  The room was spacious.  Tables were arranged so that everyone had ample space and could see each other.  There was a warm fire burning in the built-in fireplace to take the chill off the evening.  I was worried about how many members would show up being that this was our 1st major Winter storm.  I was pleasantly surprised to see the terrific turnout!  I want to give extra recognition to the the following members for challenging the worst of the storm going through Washoe Valley: Rex & Dixie Black, Belmont and Joan Reid, and Sue and Mike Johnson!  I commend you for your bravery! 

The dinners were scrumptious!  Members had an entree choice of: Salmon, Pork or New York Steak.  From the sounds of "yum" all around the room it was obvious everyone was enjoying their selection. 

Some updates on various members:

• It was nice to see Jack and Pat Campbell at this dinner meeting.  Pat has been having some serious issues with her lower back.  We all hope she gets out of pain soon!
• Larry & Ellie Richardson just got back from a three week trip to sunny Mexico
• Gerard & Lola had a fun trip to beautiful Hawaii
• Ron Pizer is a proud owner of a Model T
• Kathy Glass had a trip to Washington to see her new grandson
• Sunny Minedew was at her private girl's school 50th class reunion in San Francisco

I also want to take a moment to thank the RJC for their club pride.  As I looked around the room it was fun to see so many members, women & men, wearing "Jaguar" print clothing!  Wendy Buxton had two awesome Jaguar purses, that's right two purses - one for what we ladies normally put in a purse, lipstick, cell phone, hairbrush, you know the necessities.  In the other purse was an extra pair of shoes!  She brought these along to change into just in case the high heels, (they were JAGUAR high heels I might add), she was wearing became too uncomfortable.  :>) Talk about RJC pride!   Please see picture below.

November happened to be the RJC Election month.  After dessert of either, Crème Brulee, Chocolate Nut Brownie & Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream or Bread Pudding, we all got down to business.  We needed to nominate and vote in the new 2010 RJC Board & to find volunteers to host one of the 12 monthly dinners.  The results of both of these are:

THANK YOU everyone who volunteered for the upcoming dinner/meetings and good luck to the new 2010 board.
