The Recreational Railroad Coalition  will be hosting  the Motorcar Operators West  Annual General Meeting on October 31,09 in Ione, Ca.  The day will include two excursions on the Amador Foothill  Railroad. Additionally, a Bar-b- Que Lunch  prepared by  Tony Queirolo and Mitch  Haike  will precede the  midday meeting.  These  premier railroad chefs are known far and wide for their ability  to cook fine food for large groups. The menu  is, Ribs cooked in a barrel,pasta with pesto ,green salad, a bottle of water and a dessert. The price for the lunch feast will be $7.50 and there will be plenty of food to go around. Soft drinks will be one dollar.  Let me get back to the dessert.  We would like to try  a potluck  style desert. The idea is for you to bring a regular recipe of your favorite dessert and to share it with others in the group. People come with great things to eat at potlucks. I think it will be fun and if everyone participates there will be enough dessert to go around. Carol would like you to bring the recipe for your dessert so it can be added to the MOW cookbook. I will remind you of the dessert when you sign up for the excursion.  AND,on Sunday, DON'T forget we will be running the ST+E in Stockton. Fat Freddie and his Fabulous Frankfurters will be serving lunch for us there. Great hot dogs ,great price. We hope to make at least one run into town to operate on city streets a little. Any questions, you can find me at Ionerailfair@yahoo.net ,  or call 916 531 7536. 

Thanks, Dave Balestreri
