Hello
everyone. With
me being the House Manager for PROBUS meetings, I inform you of the following:
This
email is to inform you about changes to our PROBUS meeting for October and
November.
Our
current hotel, "Canada's Best Value Hotel" has been under new management for
the last few years. Due to Covid, renovations that were scheduled, were put
on hold. As a result of this , renovations that were delayed have been ongoing
the last few months. All rooms from the 9th floor to the lobby are in this
plan. As a result of this our regular meeting room will not be available for
a few months. The restaurant has been gutted and as a result our old meeting
room, is the new location for the restaurant, for a while.
Our
new location will be the 9th floor known as "Top of the Town" restaurant.
When
entering the lobby, turn right and go down the hall to the elevators. Remember
no more than 6 people at a time. Go to the 9th floor. At the 9th floor you
will see glass doors marked VIP. Enter through there and go up the stairs
(about 7 steps) to the floor level. The round tables have been set up near
the windows. Hotel staff asked that you use the tables near the windows first
as opposed to the other tables in the background.
The
meal will be by BUFFET style with a great assortment of choices. There is
no ordering of meals at this location. Prices are the same at $15.00, all
in. Expect this to last for October and November and maybe into January of
2023. We just don't know. I have been told the lobby is scheduled for a complete
teardown as well.
As
you may recall, the December meeting is scheduled for the Villa Madonna as
last year. The date this year is December 14th at 10 am as the usual time.
All is the same as a regular meeting. This being the Christmas season, the
meal with be a full turkey plate with desert. During the regular coffee break,
treats will be supplied at the back of the room. Cost is $4.50 per person
and is included in the $35.00. The cost will be up slightly from last year
at $35.00 with taxes and cost of coffer at break time, all in. An increase
of $1.75 per person, meal. A system will be worked out to find out who will
attend the event in November.
