Greetings, Party in the Metroplex Guests!

Only 13 days and counting until the PiM and we look forward to seeing you at DFW! In order to simplify the meals, we've chosen set menus for each of the three group
meals and we'd like to ask you for payment at this time. Receiving payment now will let us finalize the reservations, hold the spaces and pay our deposits. It also relieves you of worrying about settling the check at the end.

The meals include all courses, tax & gratuity, soft
drinks, tea & coffee. Details of
each meal follow at the end of the message. Adult drinks will be billed separately and we ask that you settle your own drink bill at each meal.

We have coordinated group meals for Friday night @ La Casa in Grapevine, Saturday lunch @ Founders' Plaza, catered by Bartley's
BBQ & Saturday night @ Cool River in Las Colinas.

We have setup a PayPal account so you can pay for your meals either with a credit card, or by an electronic transfer from your checking account. We prefer you pay by electronic check, as that saves us a transaction fee, but if credit card works best for you, by all means, do so. We want this to be easy &painless for you.

To pay by PayPal, just click on the link that's appropriate for the events you're attending. If you need to make alternate payment arrangements, please write me at [email protected] so we can coordinate that with you.

PiM All Meals @ La Casa, Founders' Plaza & Cool River $82 per person.

PiM Friday Dinner @ La Casa Only $20
per person.

PiM Saturday Lunch @ DFW's Founders' Plaza Only $10 per person.

PiM Saturday Dinner @ Cool River Only $52 per person.

If you're not able to attend, please let us know so we can take you off our lists.

We look forward to seeing you in less than two weeks!

On behalf of the PiM Planning Committee,

Menus:

Dinner @ La Casa
7pm until…?
$20.00 per Person, including Appetizers, Entrée, tea or soda, tax & gratuity

Grapevine’s La Casa isn’t fancy, but it’s honest Tex-Mex in a friendly, family atmosphere. We’ll be served in the private covered patio. It’s under the approach path for 13R, so expect to hear a plane or two.

Happy hour is from 2pm-7pm, if you need to get an early start on getting rid of that jet-lag.

We’ll begin with appetizer platters of flautas and quesadillas served away from the dinner tables cocktail-style. When we’re ready, we’ll move to the tables for a hearty dinner of “all you can eat” chicken & beef fajitas accompanied by all the stuff you need to make fajitas.

Tea & Sodas

Lunch @ DFW Airport’s Founders’ Plaza, Catered by Bartley’s Barbeque
12noon-1pm
$10.00 per Person, including barbeque, bread, desert, tea or lemonade & tax.


If the weather is fine, lunch outdoors at DFW's Founders' Plaza, the observation area located at the end of DFW runways 35 Left & Center. Prevailing winds are from the South, but if we luck out and have winds from the North, we'll have good views of the planes taking off along with the DFW East Tower piped in for atmosphere.

We'll be bringing BBQ from the finest 'que-house in the Metroplex (yes, that's quite subjective) and will enjoy it al fresco in traditional "tailgating-style."

We expect to serve sliced beef, sausage, & chicken, accompanied by BBQ beans, coleslaw & Texas toast, followed by a simple desert.

Tea & lemonade

Dinner @ Cool River Cafe
7pm until…? Business Casual Dress, Please
$52.00 per Person, including Salad, Entrée, Desert, coffee, tea or soda, tax & gratuity

Las Colinas' Cool River is a convenient & popular lunch & dinner venue located southeast of DFW. It’s decorated in an interesting hunting lodge theme, with a great bar, pool tables & live music off to the side. We're located in a function room off of the main dining room.
