<CORSA Chapters> Banquet alternative

[AeroNed at aol.com]

At our 50th celebration last year, we had our cake and ate it too....
 
We had cake after the "unveiling" in the oversized lobby where the car was  
also unveiled. For the banquet, we rented a nearby hotel and hired our own  
caterer. Of course it helps that we have a member that has a great catering 
 business (all of his delivery vehicles are FCs). We did have to pad his 
bill and  force him to cash the check.
 
Our Tunas, held three time per year, are "catered" by our members. We have  
never had a shortage of food and have always eaten well, maybe too well.
 
Most people think CORSA and its chapters are about Corvairs, but some of us 
 know the truth. It's really about the food.

Good  point - except in this case the hotel and the caterer are two 
different  companies.  We pay the hotel for the room, then make a separate deal 
with  the caterer.  The catch is the hotel has an agreement that only the  
caterer can supply food in the banquet rooms, so you can't just buy your  own.
