Fri Feb 21, Karaoke at Bryans American Grill   7pm at

2009 Ogden Ave, Downers Grove. Bryans is a small, quaint place with a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of choices for food and drinks, including starters like wings and rings. They do a great job with burgers and sandwiches, wraps, and pizza too!

 

Come on out and sing your heart out. Anybody can do it! Bring out your best version of your favorite singer and your Piccadilly friends will sing along and cheer you on! (Note: No tomato throwing at your PSC artist, LOL)

 

Piccadilly had been to Bryans before for a great time with Trivia.  Their service and food were fantastic. This event starts at 7pm so we can secure our spots and settle in. We can have some dinner and drinks to give us enough courage to belt out a few tunes for the Karaoke which starts at 8pm.

 

Think of a few good songs you are comfortable with, and the Karaoke specialist will give you the microphone and provide the lyrics. Prizes and raffles will also be part of the presentation.

 

We have reservations for 12 and please be mindful when signing up and let me know if there are any changes in plans. There will also be a waitlist if enough stars sign up. 

Sign up is through my email and preference is given to PSC members first.   John O (jfosullivan56@att.net)

Thurs Mar 6, Special General Meeting - We need a Quorum!!! Mark your calendars now:  Piccadilly will have an extremely important general meeting on Thursday, March 6th.  Please make every effort to attend.  This meeting will have TWO extremely important votes.  The first will be our Executive Board member election, while the second will be a vote to ratify changes to our PSC constitution.  These changes are necessary to bring our constitution in line with the present-day realities of trip scheduling, skiing activities, and our financial health.  All changes will be available for review prior to the March 6th vote, as well as during the 3/6 meeting.  We must have a quorum of members physically present to achieve a binding vote, so please do attend.  As an “incentive,” there will be a drawing for a substantial gift certificate for one lucky member in attendance.

 

Meeting begins at 7 pm at Miller’s Ale House located at 455 E. Butterfield Rd, Lombard, just across the street from Yorktown shopping center. We are in the private room, closest to Butterfield Rd (north side of building). Come early to order your food and drinks before the meeting.

Sat Mar 8, Winter Hike Twofer: Hike Horsetail Lake/Lunch at Mo’s 11am Hike/1pm Lunch 

HIKE: Meet at Horsetail Lake - parking lot off 104th Ave and north of 123rd St in Palos Park. Our 2nd Winter hike starts at the charming little Horsetail Lake and follows the Cook County Trail system to the enticing Swallow Cliff stairs, but don’t worry about climbing the stairs, we will be heading down the stairs.  We will then follow the forested trail to Teason Woods and a delightful, forested hike through Cherry Hill Woods in Palos Park forest preserves. The duration of the hike will take around 2 hours and about 3 miles, possibly a little more. Arriving back at Horsetail Lake and then off to quench our thirst and satisfy our hunger at Mo’s Willow pub. They sure do provide an awesome pot roast sandwich and fries and believe me I know they will not disappoint. They have various sandwiches for those who like something different.  The appeal of the establishment is vintage and will remind you of stepping back in time. The ambience will be relaxing and friendly.  Holly will do her best as she has in the past, she does a fantastic job from start to finish. They’re expecting us and remember us well.

LUNCH: @ 1pm.   If you’re not interested in the Hike  and just want the lunch, come on out and join in the fun!  Please let me know if you will be attending via email (jfosullivan56@att.net) or on Meetup, I will assume you will be attending lunch after the hike unless specified.  Mo’s Willow Pub - 8524 S Archer Ave Willow Springs, IL 60480. See you on the trail,  John O jfosullivan56@att.net
