There are a couple who don't drive so Yorkdale sounds best and it's right off the 401 for those that do.

Soooo......

Now a venue there?  I agree about Rainforest, too loud (must be getting old   ::))

Milestone's or Casey's??

And a date.....

Is August 17th good?

Either day is open for me.

I can't eat at either restaurant (Celiac), so all I care about is the coffee.   ;D

How will we know each other?  Will we wear silly hats?

Hi Josephine,

You can be the one wearing the funny hat, I'll be the fuddy duddy looking one in the crowd. lolol

In seriousness, last year a table was booked and the waitress took us where the other RCers were. Quite good that way. That can be done again this year, so no need to be concerned :-)

Looking forward to meeting you and the others. Take care til then.

I've put my vote in for the 24th as the prefered date as some people I know can't make it on the 17th.

Yorkdale is good.

Looking forward to seeing old acquaintances and meeting new ones.

Genie  :)
