37101 Warren Rd
Westland, MI 48185 (Map)

(734) 641-9163‎

If I had a nickel for every time a bear talked about this restaurant, I would be a rich man. If you have not been there before they you have to go.  It is a lot of good food and promises to be a great time. The Menu is like four pages long, so bring your appetite and be ready to feast!

Please let us know if you are coming to make sure we have enough seats.   Post in the Members only Yahoo group or contact the EC above.  We will probably have a banquet room so look for us there.

Apr 5th Tribes Do A Fool Dinner/Theater - 6:30 PM - ?? Website (EC - Ward L)

Al Matta Club  (Map)

5121 Oakman Blvd

Dearborn, MI

This year we have made this an official event for MCB.  If you have not been to this in the past then you are really missing out on something really fun

This year our own, Ward Lambert is taking part in the Tribe's production of “PIRATES OF GRAB ASS".  As always this is filled with wonderful Gay Humor and Innuendo, as well as songs you will probably never forget once you've heard them in this venue!  There are 3 bears in the show this year.  If you want to find out who they are you will just have to come see for yourself. 

Tickets for the show with a Buffet Style Dinner and OPEN BAR are discounted at $42 a ticket directly through MCB until March 12th.   After that tickets will be $45.00.  You can pay in person at most events, check through snail mail or use the PayPal button below (cash or check preferred.)

They also do a nice pre-show with a parade of colors where all the attending groups come up with the banners.  There are quite a few groups that do attend this, some are from quite far away.  It would be great to have a good turn out from MCB to show our support.  It really is a good deal when you get a full night out with a play for a little over $40.

The big night is April 5th, 2008.  Doors and bar open at 6:30 p.m. dinner at 7:30ish show about 9 PM.  Bar will become a cash bar when the show starts.

Contact the VP or Event Coordinator above for more information.

Final Deadline for tickets will be March 29, 2008.  Tickets may still be available at the door for $50

Tickets $45.00 Each (Please Contact EC (Ward) directly after March 29th)

A Day in Detroit - Slows Bar B Q - 1:00 pm (Website) (EC - Scott W)

 

This is just down the street from The Works and old Tiger Stadium. This place was great last year so we are going back again.  It is the best bar-b-q that I have ever had.  I can understand why there is normally a 2 hours wait for dinner. Lunch is a good time to get in. 

 

This year we are trying something different with our first ever :  " A Day in Detroit"  Which includes:

  • Slow's (Lunch)
  • Detroit exploring
  • MCB Meeting

So the plan is to meet at Slows BBBQ for lunch. Then we can review our options to go explore Detroit.  This way maybe a group might do the Science Center, some a museum, art galleries, shopping etc.  There is a great meat market in Mexican town that I know some will want to go to sometime during the day.  Then it is off to the meeting. 

Slows has limited seating so we can fit up to 20 people. Now there is a lot more seating and if you just want to show up on your own that is up to you. It would just be at a separate table. They also have a good size outdoor patio so if the weather is good there should be a lot of tables.

So we will limit this sign up list to the first 20 members and their guest. let us know if you are coming.

Their menu is listed on the link above. They also have a great selection of beers, both bottles and on tap plus a full bar.

Dinner with the Bears - Big Bear Lodge - 4:30 pm (Website)  (EC - Louis J)

Big Bear Lodge
25253 Telegraph Road
Brownstown, Michigan 48134    

734.782.6600

This year it is a double header of events with the dinner and a Tiger Baseball game afterward.  They are separate events and all are welcome to attend either one or both (if tickets are still available for the game). 

We Came to Big Bear Lodge last year and had a good turn out.  We don’t have that many events south of Detroit and this brings out some of our members from down Toledo way.  It was a good time and very good food.  The full menu is listed on the website (link below)


Their website states:

“Welcome to Big Bear Lodge, where the food's hearty, the campfire's warm and the people are friendly. We invite you to join us for a delicious meal, hot from our wood burning oven, in the rustic charm of our log cabin lodge.  And, if Woodrow the Bear swings by your table, be sure to say hello!” 

Wonder if Woodrow would be interested in doing a video with his fellow bears?  Can he say Woof?   

Louis has stepped up and is EC for this event.  We are all set but we do need a head count for this one.  Please post in the members only Yahoo group or email EC above  We need to let them know by Wednesday, April 23, 2008.

Come on out, it will be a fun time. We will be ordering from the full menu and they will do separate checks.

 

Following this event at 8:05 PM  is a Tiger Baseball game event that Rob B is hosting.  If you are interested in going to the game please contact Rob B.
