Jan 9th Wallyball (Details)
Jan 12th Dinner - Casa Fiesta Mexican Restaurant - 5:15pm (EC - Scott W)
7667 Wayne Road, Westland, MI (Map)

This is in the Westland Mall parking lot.  This has been a good find with lots of good food at a good price.  We thought we would do this one before the meeting as it is just off of Warren rd.  So after dinner is a straight shot to Diamond Jim's. 

The place is large so fitting us in should be no problem but we need to do a head count. Please post to the members only Yahoo group or click here to send email.  Let us know by 1/10 if you are coming.

19650 Warren Ave, Detroit, MI (Map)

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.

It's right by the Comerica Bank, and you can use their parking lot.

Jan 19th

Curling Club/Dinner 2 to 4 PM (Dinner follows) (Details) (EC - Scott W)

What is curling.  Let me tell you "eh".  It is a fun sport that you might have seen on Canadian TV "eh".  It is like table shuffleboard on ice with big pucks and two people with brooms ahead of the puck I think to speed it up a little "eh".  

The bears are going to bring out the Canadian in them at the Detroit Curling Club in Ferndale "eh".  We will follow this with a dinner.  (More details coming)

There will be someone there to teach us the game and work with us "eh".  They do this all the time for people who don’t know the sport "eh".  We have room for up to 20 people and space is on a first come first get basis "eh".    We have two sheets reserved for two hours "eh".  A sheet is like a lane in bowling "eh"

I think it will be fun.  The cost will be $22 each. (Curling Only)

See Members only Yahoo Group or contact treasurer@motorcitybears.com 

** Club event - Non-members are asked to donate $5.00 to the club to help pay for costs.**
