FYI, we do plan to have a pianist and guitarist perform some light jazz and romantic tunes to help set the mood...if you want to go you really need to make your reservations as soon as you can as the size of the FoA showroom will limit the number of guests we can accommodate.
Looks like a great event!!!! Cyndi and I would love to attend but we are in Savannah that week-end. Maybe we can make the trip for it. Stephane Scaledetails
Me and my family are really good friends with the couple that owns this restuarant. Say hi to Maria for me!
Invitations to ~300 FCA-SE members were mailed out today. So if you want to take your Valentine to this wonderful event, you need to make your reservations before the rush.
Rather than drive over from Huntsville, Lisa and I are going to fly over and rent a car. Any recommendations for nice hotels or bed-and-breakfast inns near FoA?
There are several hotels in the Alpharetta and Roswell area depending on your requirements...http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&hs=nwQ&q=hotels&near=Alpharetta,+GA&sa=X&oi=local&ct=title and...http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&hs=z0Q&q=hotels&near=Roswell,+GA&sa=X&oi=local&ct=title
I'd look at the Hampton Inn up in that area; nice, close to the dealership, reasonable, plenty of parking for your car, safe. I use to live up in that area and stay there on business sometimes. Hampton Inn Alpharetta/Roswell, GA 10740 Westside Parkway Alpharetta, GA 30004 US Drew
For you guys that want to go, be sure you get me your check as soon as possible. The limited space at FoA will cause us to cut off accepting reservations soon and we really need a head count for the caterer by 2-1-07.
I'd like to take the GF, but I'm not sure the ol' Dino is up for a 10 hour round trip. I don't think I'd want to show up in the Toyota...
I have met with Maria from Casa Nuova and have confirmed this menu: APPETIZERS; vegetable platter w/home made dip, crab stuffed mushrooms in lobster sauce and homemade meatballs. SALAD;Caesar. ENTREES;Sicilian eggplant parmigiana, chicken Marsala and homemade meat ravioli w/champagne sauce. ASSORTED DESERTS w/coffee...dinner will be served buffet style so you can eat some of all...yum yum...
FYI, my first date with my wife of 13 years was at an FCA-SE Valentine's Dinner at FAF on Feb 13, 1993...so that GF could just become your wife after this dinner...
Thanks for organizing this Frank. My check is on its way to your house. I think my wife will be in Spain that weekend, but I'm sure I'll come up with somebody to go with me as my date. As long as it's not raining I'll bring my Ferrari out.
If you want to bring your Valentine to a nice romantic dinner with a soft jazz duo playing and a showroom of Italian exotics in the next room, this is the place to be...hope to see a lot of FChatters there...
