<CORSA Chapters> Banquet alternative

[Bob Galli]

Bryan and all,
Central Coast Corsa's semi-annual event, "Vairfest", for the last two events 
has used a club volunteer group for our meals. The Friday evening Welcome 
Party uses a Spaghetti Feed for the meal. This is supplied with meat sauce, 
or whatever. Bob O and his family has provided this service with pride.
          Saturday afternoon meal (banquet) consists mainly of barbequed 
steak, chicken, vegetables, beans, and whatever you can conjure. This is 
managed by our Don Hemwall and his crew.
        We have one advantage for this event, as it is located at our own 
Atascadero Lake Park, with the adjoining AARP building for our preparation 
and seating of our Spagetti Feed. We have the park barbeque pits and picnic 
tables surrounded by our car show cars on the grass. In this manner, we are 
able to keep the costs to the participants at a lower price, and everybody 
has a great time.
       In our case, we do not have a host hotel, but rely on the local 
motels.
