March Events

There is a great deal on the calendar of the Flatwater Austin-Healey Club in March of 2000.

ICE CREAM

The first event is Ice Cream, at Baskin-Robbins south of 70th and Pioneers at 7:30 P.M., Thursday the 9th.

BREAKFAST

The next event, breakfast, will be at 9:30 A.M., Saturday, March 11th at Mahoney State Park. The afternoon of the 11th is to be spent setting up the booth for the annual Swap Meet in the Lancaster Building at the State Fairgrounds.

SWAP MEET

We will meet 3:00 P. M., and after the booth is complete we will adjourn to a local eatery for food and libation, followed for a short rest, for some, until we report for work at 2:00 A.M. Sunday morning. Our shift ends at 7:00 A.M. at which time we will begin to snooze, drink tea, and people the booth for the duration of the swap meet. For those still on their feet, the group will go somewhere, yet to be determined, to eat dinner.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARTY

The following Saturday, the 18th, we will have our annual St. Patrick's Day Party at John and Bev's house, 6845 South 44th in Lincoln at about 6:00 P. M. Festivities will continue until the piano player collapses and the proverbial last dog is hoisted from the yard arm. You are to bring whichever beverage you desire and any food you choose, although finger foods have great appeal as they are easily consumed while walking about socializing. The noisy British car and the lampshade to wear while driving it home are optional.

FISH

FISH WILL NO LONGER BE IN UNION AT RICKY SUE'S! We have experienced inconsistent quality of food, poor service, and one MG was mistaken for a sidewalk extension in the time since the place was sold. However, last meeting when, after being encouraged by the waitress to leave before 9:30, we were queried about the service it became clear it was time to move. Martha replied that the service was less than satisfactory at which time the waitress took exception and wanted to fight. Her boyfriend decided that was a good idea. Thanks to quick group action, overwhelming numbers, and a quick retreat reflective of Jerry's military science background and Dr. Danielson's ability to deal with disaster, gained while dealing with hostile foreign governments as a producer for public television, we left with one glass being the only casualty. Hence, despite the entreaties
