Adding a new event today. Also want to make sure it is CLEAR to everyone, that positive RSVP's are essential to maintaining a good relationship with our dining partners (I really don't need to know that you're NOT going to be there). These partners often will put more staff on to help and when we don't fill their dance card, they're paying for it. If we don't have at least 6 ppl positively RSVP'd by the deadline noted on the event, I will cancel it shortly after the RSVP deadline. Also, no shows that have responded as a positive RSVP is unaccetable. I don't mind taking my wife out for breakfast/lunch/dinner, but showing up 20 minutes early to set up the group, waiting for an additional 20 minutes to order to see if you're going to show is garbage. This might sound a little bitter or harsh, but our time is precious and I want to make sure these events are worthwhile for everyone.

Just confirmed our reservation for 14 guests at noon on Monday.
If you arrive earlier than we do, please tell the hostess you're with "Heartland Group."
If you're one of the 14 people who RSVP'd, we know things can happen. Please, if you're going to cancel don't just be a no show. Please contact me either via this post on FB, sending a message to simsfmly on the HOC forum, or via email. I always have my phone on me and this will help for all of us.
If you did not RSVP and you're planning on coming, please contact me ASAP through the same means as above as Paradise Key is going to have a table of 14 set for us. Looking forward to seeing all of you.

Great turnout tonight. 12 Heartlanders at Pepitos. Good food, good conversation. Poor effort by me not getting a picture -- sorry about that!

If you're thinking about coming down to the Coastal Bend of Texas (Rockport, Aransas Pass, Portland, Corpus Christi, Port Aransas) make sure you subscribe to this thread and ask to join our group on Facebook. We have lots of fun getting together for a breakfast, lunch or dinner throughout the winter at different places throughout the Coastal Bend.

Looking for some guidance. Can we do a get together in December (thinking the week of the 19th) or should we wait until January? Please post below or on the Facebook Page.

OK, boys and girls. Got 3 reservations made for the month of January. I'll be making "events" for you to RSVP to. Don't need regrets, I only ask that if you say you're coming please be there or cancel 24 hours prior. Any event that does not have at least 6 people RSVP 24 hours prior will cancel. RSVP via Facebook, the Forum or email me.
