Our general meetings are discussions of past and upcoming activities
mixed with club business and socializing. If you want to know if we're
the club for you, come check us out. Guests and visitors are always
welcome. Generally speaking, Diamond Jim's Saloon is located on Warren
Ave., one short block east of Evergreen in Detroit. It's right by the
Comerica Bank, and you can use their parking lot.
Bears-n-Toboggans (Make-up Date) - 1:30pm-4:30pm The
Fridge Toboggan Run Scott Lake Road, Waterford (Directions)
(Between Dixie Highway & Watkins Lake Road)
$9.00 per person (Oakland County Residents: $7.00 per person)
The
bears are going to revisit an event which was popular in the past and
have some fun with it. Who says that bears can't relive their childhoods
and have some fun tobogganing? Come to think of it though, maybe it's a
childhood experience with a definite grown-up twist. Not too many spent
their "Wonder Years" getting a hot bear to sit between their legs while
they went for a quick ride... or did we?
Anyway "The Fridge" is a refrigerated toboggan run operated by the
Oakland County Parks & Rec Department. Up to four riders swoosh down a
55-foot drop, and zip along 1,000 feet at speeds in excess of 30 miles
per hour. The toboggans are provided by the park and, after the ride's
over, they are transported back to the top by park staff for another
ride. No more trudging up the hill pulling your toboggan along behind
you.
Wearing older and/or washable outerwear is recommended. Mittens or
gloves must be worn. Scarves and loose clothing must be tucked in
before riding. If you get chilled and need to warm up a bit, then the
Lookout Lodge warming building comes in handy with a
fireplace, restrooms, concessions, TV sets and viewing areas.
The Fridge has been featured in the Detroit Free Press and they have
named the "Best Slide" so come on out and try it for yourself!
Feb 25th
Dinner Night Taiwan Buffet 7:00pm - 9:00pm
32153 John R, Madison Heights, MI 48071-4722 (Map)
(Located on John R, south of 14 Mile in the Madison Place Shopping
Center, near Mervyn’s)
(248) 585-6868
Under $15.00 per person
Come join the bears doing one of the
things we do best… eating! The Taiwan Buffet has received a big
“thumbs up” from both the Detroit News and various members of our
group. The restaurant offers a huge array of everything from dim sum
items like buns and dumplings to salad bar offerings, and such
Chinese dishes as chicken in spicy sauce, squid with salt and
spices, beef with broccoli and on one visit at least, a pan of
bright red steamed crawfish. There's also a Mongolian grill where
chefs sear combinations of meat, seafood and vegetables from a
buffet of raw ingredients. They also serve alcohol to enhance your
dining experience.
