Colleagues, So far 16 of you have emailed me to express interest in getting together for dinner on Oct.23 at the CRLA conference. I have arranged to have a room set aside for us at Fresh Choice Restaurant in the mall next to the Doubletree Inn. The room holds 35-40 people (they will call me with the exact number). Fresh Choice is a soup/salad buffet. It's a very popular chain in Northern California, and there are similar chains in other parts of the country. For $7.25 (beverages extra) you get unlimited salads (a large selection of both side salads and main dish salads), unlimited soup (usually 3 or 4 varieties including chili), pasta, pizza, delicious breads and muffins, and dessert. The food is high quality, and the hardest thing is keeping your eyes the size of your stomach. Our room has both booths and tables. They will rearrange the tables at our request. I have kept the 16 replies (17 including me). I'll post again closer to the conference, but when the spaces are taken, they're taken. However, there is lots of room in the main restaurant. We'll meet at the Newcomers Reception - details to come later - and walk over around 6:45. They are expecting us at 7:00. I can't wait to meet all of you in person! Lonna Smith
