And we’re not talking cell phones. Over the next few months, the chapter’s professional development luncheon meetings will be held at a different restaurant each month. Hurricane Ike not only dealt us a blow by canceling all of our events in September, our beloved meeting place, Brennan’s, was destroyed by fire. An employee and his young daughter were injured in the blaze. Thanks to you who have made a donation to their medical fund. Go to www.brennanshouston.com for information on how you can help if you haven’t done so already.
Our October meeting will be held on the 23rd at Damian’s–another Houston institution only a few blocks away from Brennan’s. It’s well known that Houston is a well-fed city with some great restaurants. Our goal is to check out what the city has to offer in different parts of town. If you can’t make a luncheon downtown, maybe you can join us in the Galleria or West Houston areas. Once we’ve had a chance to sample several venues, we’ll ask you to choose which one you liked the best. We’ll then stay with the winning venue until Brennan’s has been rebuilt–which the Brennan’s family estimates will take about 18 months.
Join us for our tour de restaurants. Is there a restaurant you’ve always wanted to try or one you swear by? Let me know by posting a comment here or emailing me theresa@torma.com. Remember, the restaurant needs to have a good-sized meeting room. Let the tour begin………
