Entertainment:

Christmas Party 12/18/21:
- Mio Fratello how has all the final data regarding the party details and no additional guests can be accommodated even though there will be 5 empty seats due to minimum table sizes. There will be 71 guests among 7 tables.

For benefit of those new attendees, Mio's is on De. Rt. 54 on the south side just past the Smitty Magee Shopping Strip. Parking is ample on the N,E, and S sides of the buiding. If addition room is required try the Billy's Sub Store lot next door as they are closed down.

Entrance to the party is via a door in the center of the east side of Mio's. It leads directly to the elevator or stairs to the second floor. Exiting the stairs or elevator, look straight ahead and up 2 steps for self-service coat storage area, then left from there to the check-in table. You will get your table assignments there along with your drink tickets and table place cards. You can choose any seat at the table but must not change tables.

Obviously, there will be no smoking but there is a door at the NE corner that leads to an open outside deck on the north side.

The bar will be open and the party started promptly at 6:00 pm. Roost 44 and the Entertainment Committee hopes you enjoy the event to a great degree. Merry Christmas !
