Valentine’s Cruise

In honor of Valentine’s Day, Ron Kirby & Mary Alexion are teaming up to coordinate the February social event.

On February 9th at 9:45am, we will meet in Wake Forest at the Kohl’s Store (12620 Capital Boulevard Wake Forest, NC 27587) in order to leave a10:00am.

We will then drive to the Post Office in Valentines, VA arriving at around  10:45am (Bracey Exit after crossing Lake Gaston Bridge on I-85). There we’ll deliver our Valentines to be postmarked and mailed. The Post Office is open until 12:00. The Post Master said it would be a busy day with all of the requests. However, she said she would be ready for us.

Afterwards, we’ll visit The Rosemont Winery for a tour and tasting. (Guess who’s idea?) This will cost us $5 per person.

Finally, we will head to LaCrosse, VA for lunch at Kahill’s. A picture of the menu can be found at: http://www.urbanspoon.com/cities/314-virginia/restaurants/1304280-kahill-s-restaurant-bar/menu.

If anyone has questions, please contact Ron Kirby at a1special@embarqmail.com or Mary Alexion at mary.alexion@gmail.com

Click here to be taken to the event registration page.  Once there, click on the ‘Register’ button to let us know you are coming and your entree choice(s).

After you’ve registered, please send your check made out to RTP Corvettes to 10410 Stone, Chapel Hill, NC 27517.  All registrations need to be completed by November 18 so we can have an accurate count for the Angus Barn.  We have been promised a larger room this year and we need the count so the room is sized and set up properly.

After dinner, we will hold our Yankee Gift Exchange.  The maximum value of the gift is $20.00 and does not necessarily have to be Corvette related.  The gift exchange was a big hit at last year’s party!  Please call Kalani Parker if you have any questions on how the gift exchange will work.

See you all at the ‘Barn’ on December 9!
