SUMMARY:Happy 3rd Anniversary Cheap Eats Group! Lets celebrate at Samb
	a Na'Brasa!
DESCRIPTION:  In celebration of three years of great Cheap Eats\, we'r
	e going to return to the original site where we had our first event at
	 - Samba Na Brasa in the Fleetwood section of Mt. Vernon. Look at pict
	ures from last year -- in our photos section - the link is here. This 
	is a Brazilian churascaria\, with a beautiful bar and a price fixe din
	ner at $31.95\, plus tip\, and tax (drinks extra)\, which offers hot a
	nd cold buffet for the first course\, including a huge variety of fres
	h green salads\, potato salad\, sopressata\, grilled portabella\, seaf
	ood salad\, eggplant parmigiana\, brazilian squash\, marinated mushroo
	ms\, seafood paella\, oxtail and yucca stew\, ossobuca\, and risotto\,
	 and much much more. Then for the second course\, skewers of roasted m
	eat are sliced tableside (selection of meats including steaks\, beef\,
	 poultry\, fish)\, by the waiters at your command. I"ve asked for scat
	tered seating - so we'll have table groupings of four and six and eigh
	t.. all in the upper and private dining area near the huge and beautif
	ul fireplace in the center of the main room. *************************
	********************************** Over the past few weeks I've been s
	teadily increasing the numbers of attendees for the THREE YEAR ANNIVER
	SARY FOR THE CHEAP EATS GROUP at the Samba Na Brasa restaurant on Sund
	ay January 11th at 6pm. Now that we're a week or so away from the even
	t I've capped it at 50 people.. (and we still have folks on the waitin
	g list!) I called the restaurant this evening to let them know our num
	bers and while they are excited to have us\, -- BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MAN
	Y PEOPLE FOR THIS EVENT\, WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO A CONTRACT WITH THEM A
	ND THEY NEED A DEPOSIT OF $500... The reason for the contract is: folk
	s have been making reservations for a group\, and then the group is le
	ss than the number the reservation is for -- and the restaurant has pu
	rchased food\, scheduled staffing\, and then they don't get the income
	 expected for that particular event (tough to do biz that way) -- this
	 speaks directly to us and what's been happening with the group lately
	... (ex. folks rsvp'ing as yes\, and then not showing up\, or cancelli
	ng at the last minute\, after I've confirmed with the restaurant)... s
	o I understand their need for a contract but again\, I cannot afford t
	o pay for people who may or may not show up.. please be aware -- this 
	is an inkling of what may happen to our group in the future - deposits
	 required for dinners... So.. what I need from you is A PARTIAL PAYMEN
	T in advance\, because I cannot put out $500 of my own money to secure
	 this event.. this is OUR group\, and we all have to share in some of 
	the responsibility. So I"m asking you to please make a paypay payment 
	to me for $12.00 -- which I will use to make the deposit on our dinner
	 event at Samba Na Brasa.. PLEASE MAKE THIS PAYMENT ASAP\, (today\, to
	morrow\, or Sunday) so I can set up the party package contract and pay
	 them for our event.. If you do not have paypal\, we'll have to figure
	 out another way\, as I need to have this money in advance by Monday..
	. and checks just don't move that fast in the mail... so please email 
	me with how you might get the money to me.. or ask someone you know wh
	o has paypal to cover you.. Either way\, if we want to have this party
	\, we need to work together.. Please note that you can just park in th
	e lot nearby\, parking is FREE on Sundays!! Questions/Comments? please
	 email me! Hope to see you there! Terry\n
