Dear Confreres Et Consoeurs:

I am pleased to announce our next very special Chaine gala for the first time ever, at St. Clair Country Club. This grand evening will be Monday Night, October 27th, 1997 at 7:00 p.m. at one of the most elegant Clubs in the area.

Hosting for the first time you ask? That distinction goes to the property, but not to the people. Club General Manager Barry Garrett CCM, has personally experienced the Chaine when he was at the Houston Country Club in Texas. And the St. Clair Country Club's Executive Chef, Vincent P. Sanzotti has prepared Chaine Dinners as Executive Chef at major hotels. So come prepared to enjoy a very elegant evening of wonderful foods and wines.

This will be a black tie event with decorations in order. May I please have your reservations by October 13th, 1997. Address them to my attention to avoid any post office confusion. The cost is one hundred ten dollars ($110.00) per person per member couple, and one hundred twenty dollars ($120.00) per guest. Guests will be accommodated on a space available basis. Valet parking will be provided.

Founded in 1916, the Club is named after General Arthur St. Clair, who fought in both the French & Indian War and the American Revolution. For over 80 years, St. Clair Country Club's reputation has been synonymous with the very best in club life. Now, Barry and Vince are excited to demonstrate their collective gastronomic expertise to the members of the Chaine.

I look forward to seeing you at this wonderful evening at the St. Clair Country Club!

Vive la Chaine!
