Report on the monthly breakfast (Egg Chew) at the Classic Cup Cafe
Yesterday, January 28, we had the ARROW monthly breakfast (Egg Chew) at the Classic Cup Cafe on Jackson Road due to the Old Country Buffet closing. We had a good turnout with 24 people present. The general opinion seemed to be that the food, portions, and prices were good, so we should continue to meet there.
We also talked about the QRP group wanting to join us, but they have to meet on the third Saturday. We decided to change our monthly breakfast from the last Saturday to the third Saturday to accommodate this request.
I reserved the back room for the following dates, from 9-11 AM. The QRP guys can come at their usual 9:30, if they wish.
February 18
March 31 (third Saturday was already booked, and since it’s St. Patrick’s Day, is very busy at the restaurant)
April 21
June 16
July 21
August 18
September 15
October 20
November 17
December 15
I did not reserve a date in May, because the third Saturday is the weekend of
the Dayton Hamvention. If you feel there will still be a lot of people in town,
I can yet reserve that date; otherwise, those few who are in town can meet in
the front part of the restaurant. We did that yesterday because the room had
been double-booked.
