Summary: We meet to eat!
Keywords: Food Chineese  Rockville EAT
Organization: Mid Atlantic Soaring Association, Fairfield Pa.
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1992 00:47:41 GMT

After the grand feast we had at the China in Silver Spring last month
the FOOD_SIG planning another good meal.  This time in Rockville.

The September get-together will be at the 4-Rivers Chineese Restaurant in
Rockville on Wednesday, September, 16.  Our ETA (estimated time of arival) is
7:30pm, and will eat till everything in sight is gone.  The last time we
were at the 4-Rivers was back in May, and thoes who were there will remember
the excelent appetizer that Janet B. orders.  You'll have to come to see
what it is (we all tried it and enjoied !!  ).  We have never had a bad 
meal at the 4-Rivers, and don't expect to this time.

Don't let me kid you too much, we are not really gluttons! We just like
to gather, eat, talk, and have a good time.  Any and all are invited.
Bring a spouse, friend, or co-worker that enjoys Chineese food, and good
company. Neither of you will be disapointed.  Conversation doesn't turn
technical too often!

The 4-Rivers is located on the corner of Rollins and E. Jefferson Sts in 
Rockville.  Landmarks near-by are CompUSA, and within walking distance 
(1-1/2 blocks) of the Twinbrook Metro (Red-line).

                       What is this FOOD-SIG, anyway?

For folks who haven't been to one of the FOOD-SIG gatherings, here's
a little background:

Back in the Dark Ages of microcomputing, in the days when Mighty CP/M
strode the land, the CP/M Users' Group of Washington DC used to meet
on the third Wednesday of each month. Being a congenial lot, most of
the members would wind up at a restaurant for dinner after the meetings.

CP/M's days as the dominant operating system drew to a close, and the
CP/M Users' Group decided to fold after a meeting where 90% of the
attendees said that their primary (or in many cases, only) machine was
an MS-DOS system, and that the major reason they came to meetings was to
go out to eat afterwards.

Since the third Tuesday of the month was free for everyone, and we all
enjoyed getting together, we just kept on meeting at various restaurants
every month in the three or so years since the CP/M-UG ceased to exist.
The days change, but the focus of the group is still the same, good
eating, good company, and good conversation.

There are no dues, no officers, no by-laws, no bureaucracy. There are no
requirements other than a heart appetite and the desire to enjoy a good
meal with congenial people. Spouses/significant others are most welcome.

The location for each month's gathering is posted a bulletin  (on the
Gen-5 BBS) at some point before it's too late. Please join us for an
enjoyable evening!
