Greetings! Reminder: Please pass the word! The Tartan Dinner Group is holding our 3rd Annual "Bobbie Burns Dinner" this Sunday, January 27, 2002 at 5pm. We invite you to bring your family and friends to this dutch treat dinner at Star Restaurant in Novato. The menu is varied and afforable. Separate checks for all. What else would you expect from a group of Scots? :) The Tartan Dinner group meets the 4th Sunday of every month. This is an informal affair in which a good time has been had by all. This month's dinner is a special night for us. If you have the full kilt regalia including prince charlie and want to dress up, please do. If you do not have the full regalia, or have not purchased a kilt yet, please do not let that stop you from joining us. Dress as you are comfortable. Our Bobbie Burns Dinner traditionally begins with visiting and socializing as usual. We typically have Scots music in the background on CD. There is a book or two of Burns poetry on hand for those that feel moved to read aloud. And we celebrate the evening with the Scottish National Dish --- Haggis! There will be an Address to the Haggis. Please RSVP just so we know what to tell the restaurant so they can properly set up for us. If you are late reading this email and don't have a chance to RSVP, come ahead and join us. Star can usually accomodate last minute attendees. You can reply to this email, or call my answering machine 415/898-5144. When you RSVP, please let me know how many will be attending *and* if you like haggis or not and how much you like it so I can plan how much to have on hand. Each year we have had a haggis virgin or two try the wonderful puddin' for the very first time. Last year we had a couple of different types of haggis and enjoyed a haggis tasting.
