METCA Annual Banquet 2012 November 3rd 2012

That sounds like alot of fun  Count me in

Ben is a funny guy!

Funny how? 

you better show up , you're holding a Tofc car for me!

Dave

You will have a chance to win one of those babies too.  We have a ton of prizes just waiting to jump out of the door.

I got my tickets already. Looking forward to another great evening. Hope the coming storm does not interfere with this event.

No worries I have the inside scoop from a high authourity that the storm will be long gone and the waters will subside by then.  If not I may have to show the trick of being able to part them

Ben:

You are the best but if you have to part the waters I want to be there to see that.

That early snow storm last year on October 28th did not stop us from getting there

and having a great evening. I hope the dinner sells out this year.

Actually I think Ben has a new lift bridge to handle the water problem.

Ed and Dave thanks for signing on board for this one. We are gonna have a great time. Not too late to sign up for this one folks. Still a few seats open so dont be shy.

I hear that METCA president Stu Rankin and METCA Chief Legal Counsel Erol Gurcan will be at the dinner too. Make sure to stop by and say hello to his holyness Stu  Rankin.

Better yet, Erol (aka Locolawyer) will be happy to take any money you want to offer.

Erol 

Well now Erol and Stu!  That should be quite a show I think.

Erol since you are happy to take the money, I am thinking that we will assign you the table sales for the raffle tickets. Ben agrees!!

A friend of mine got me a ticket to this event. I was just wondering if it is still on schedule to be held for this Saturday? I've heard that there are parts of Paterson still without power.

I just got power back on Staten Island    Paterson is still dark  We lost all the food we already had on hand for the banquet so we will be postponing it.  It will likely be Dec 1st but I have to check with the rest of the METCA board

Thanks for the info Ben. I'm glad to hear that you got power restored on Staten Island. I still do not have power at my house. Sorry to hear that the food got lost. Thanks for all your hard work in putting on this event. See you in December.

Hi Ben:

We were so looking forward to the METCA dinner. Relieved to read that you and your family are ok. Just can not get over all of the distruction I've seen from the tv news reports. Hope the dinner does happen on December 1st. If additional money is needed to purchase all the food again we would be glad to pay for it.

I'm glad we got word before we tried to come down there, (We just got our internet back this morning) as for the rest, be thankful everything is alright with your layout! My basement is a little wet at this time. be thankful we're alive and the party will go on at a later date!

Thanks for your understanding guys  Paterson is still without power.
