[Sigifp-l] Annual Meeting Updates

[Tomas Lipinski]

Hello Members!
 
our annual planning meeting is scheduled for 3:00-4:00 p.m. on Monday October 22, 2007, in the Gilpatrick C Room.
 
as for the annual networking dinner, I have either Sunday (but after the world cup rugby final!) or Monday available, of course folks can arrange another time, but since Milwaukee is my home town, I am happy to host. Any thoughts for preference of either day, or food, see some options below. (Or we can just meet at the hotel and see what folks are up for)
 
Buca di Beppo servers individual and family style southern Italian food, though a chain everything is made from scratch and it's a fun place for a group (about 8-10 blocks from hotel, but I can drive me plus 4 others). 
Buca di Beppo Milwaukee, 1233 North Van Buren Street, Milwaukee, WI 53202, 414-224-8672

Water Street Brewery makes great beer and serves a variety of food (or we can do dinner at the first place and a beer after) (about 3-4 blocks from the Hyatt)? 
1101 N. Water Street, Milwaukee, WI 53202, (414) 272-1195

Another option is (seafood and a bit of everything else, and did I mention the best back bar in town, great night-cap place alternative to the hotel bar) (2-3 blocks from the hotel).
Eagan's on Water, 1030 N Water St, Milwaukee, WI 53202, (414) 271-6900

Other options are avilable, for example the best German place in town is w/in 4-5 blocks walk of hotel but closed on Sunday 
Karl Ratzsch's
320 East Mason Street
Milwaukee, WI 53202
(414) 276-2720
 
or I am happy to drive a small group elsewhere,
 
for example, one of the top rated places in town is Lake Park Bistro, a bit more elegant, superb food/service, James Beard Chef Nominee, Wine Spectator award winner, on the bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan in a park-like setting.
 
Looking forward to seeing you there.
