Just two more lunches this year! Shamrock next week. Well probably resume them in March or April. Any suggestions for additional places to meet?
Nov 14Shamrock
Dec 12CTs
For our lunches, we meet starting at 11:00 and eat at noon.
Shamrock, downtown Lake Tomahawk, 7235 Bradley Street (Hwy 47). http://www.shamrocklaketom.com/
CTs Deli, downtown Rhinelander, 17 N Brown St. http://cheftomsdeli.com/ We have the Community Room. Since this is a deli, you order your drinks and food at the counter, pick up your drinks, then they call your name when your food is ready and you get it from the food counter. It might be good if you place your order when you get there, so were not all ordering at the same time.
Several deaths recently.
Bill Hoppe was the forester/ranger at Rhinelander.
Bev Nimmer often attended our lunches in years past with her brother Dick, who worked at Woodruff.
Gary Scovel was the warden supervisor at Woodruff.
