Time for the Third Annual Reception and Dinner on Tuesday night (August 2) of IAFP.  Last year beer and brats were requested.  Dale Morton and I have teamed up to bring you just that at the Old German Beer Hall, 1009 N. Old World Third Street in Milwaukee.  http://www.oldgermanbeerhall.com/ 414-226-2728.  We’ll need your help to quaff the barrel of beer ordered for the occasion.  Brats and all sorts of great pathogen-free goodies will be available.  Cost is a mere $35.  Dale will serve as cashier and bouncer if need be.  See you at 7 pm on Aug. 2.

It will be helpful if you RSVP.  Sadly, we can’t sign up thru IAFP this year as their insurance won’t allow it.

Dale and I look forward to toasting our former employer WITH you.  Remember, it’s never the same without you.
