Nov 11th

Sunday Brunch  at the Grand 12:30 PM

The New MGM Casino (The Palette restaurant)

1777 Third St., Detroit, MI 48226, 1.877.888.2121

In Celebration of the new MGM Grand Casino in Detroit, MCB is planning a Sunday at the Grand. It all starts with what the bears like most FOOD.  The MGM has many restaurants but the best all you can eat buffet is the Palette.  The cost is $22.00 but it is quite a spread from what I have heard. 

We will meet in front of the Palette and get ready for lots of food!  There is free multilevel parking adjacent to the casino.  Then the bears head out to check out the place and maybe win a few bucks. 

So come on down and maybe you might even become a millionaire, or at least feel like you ate a million dollars worth of food.  ;>)

Please let us know if you are coming as reservations are required.  Sign up list in members only Yahoo group or Email

Come on out for the first Bears night out party.  Rumor has it that this is going to be a regular thing at the Eagle.

Nov 24th Games Night at Scott and Rob’s or Bear, Behr or Bare (Win, Lose or Draw)  3:00 PM to ??

We thought it would be fun to have a games night for the group.  The main game we were thinking of doing is or Bear, Bear or Bear (or really Win, Lose or Draw). Ok first off Bear, Behr or Bare in not strip Win, Lose or Draw (but I like how you think ;>) ).  It is a lot of fun for a group.  You have to pick a card.  The cards have a word or phrases on them and you have to draw to get people to say what is on the card.  Kind of like charades but you use drawing instead of acting it out.  Oh and the cards might be a little different from the standard set :>)

We can also set up other games as well if others want to play something else.  Have a favorite game, bring it along.  I am sure people will also be just hanging out as well.   We will also start with an afternoon of socializing and will have a pot luck dinner as well.  So come on out and see the bears!  We might also have a late night movie if we get tired of the games

Starts at 3:00, Dinner about 6:00 and the games start about 7:00.

Dinner will be pot luck as follows: (remember the no chip rule Please) We will also have a bar-b-q grill available if needed and we will be providing some snacks.

 

A-F: Desserts
G-M: Finger foods, side dishes, Soups etc.
N-R: Salads, cheese, deviled eggs, dip trays etc.
S-Z: Meat dishes, casseroles, main dishes etc.

We will have pop and ice. Feel free to BYOB.* Our house is about 1350 sq. ft. so it may get cozy.  The living room, dining room and foyer form a great room so that should help.  * Please no smoking in the house. We have a deck and a patio outdoors. You are welcome to smoke out there.  *We do have 2 very friendly long hair cats.

Hope to see you there!  Scott and Rob
