INSTALLATION DINNER
Saturday, January 22nd
ROYAL DRAGON RESTURANT
Well, it is not quite Buckingham Palace, but it is the changing of the Guard.
New officers for the 2005 term will be announced and as usual, we will celebrate
with food and drink! Join your fellow club members at the Royal Dragon
Restaurant located in the Fontana Shopping Center at the corner of 5lst and
Memorial., It Is on the south side of the center facing 51st St. (7837 E. 51st.)
The social hour wilt be from 6:00 pm until 7:00 pm and then we will advance on
the resplendent buffet at 7:00p.m., sharp. As many of you know the Royal Dragon
serves some of the best Chinese food in town along with made to order Mongolian
Barbeque. If you go away hungry, you have no one to blame but yourself! Cost
will be $10.60 per person excluding any adult beverages and checks will be
separate to keep things simple.
This is our first official event of the New Year and some of us think of it
as our thank goodness the holidays are over bash. Don’t miss the food and the
fun but we MUST HAVE RESERVATIONS. Call Larry Banner now at 918- 627- 4305 and
let him know how many will be in your party. We will be in a private dinning
room so be sure to tell the hostess you are with the Jaguar Club and she will
direct you to the correct room. Bring the whole family and enjoy an evening out
with your fellow enthusiasts. It will get your year started off right.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Believe it or not it’s already a new 2005. Your club is looking forward to
another 12 months of auto-related fun & food activities. Be sure to let any
board member know if there’s something or somewhere you think the club would
enjoy. We have done short, simple things; picnics, local museums, etc. to a trip
to England & Jaguar Coventry so almost anything goes!!! We had a great year
last year & the treasury increased so we hope to continue the fun. Happy New
Year to all. GG 918-481-1789
DANG! THE NEWSLETTER IS A LITTLE THIN !
Yes, you noticed that you got a really abbreviated newsletter this month.
Sorry, but in addition to the usual Holiday mess, your Editor suffered a major
computer melt down. I am still getting things back together. Being that I lost
my photo program, I couldn’t even fill up space with pictures! However, next
month things should be back to normal. In the meantime I just wanted to get the
message about our next event, the Installation Dinner, out to all our members.
IS THIS YOUR LAST NEWSLETTER?
Annual dues are due now! If you have sent yours in, no problem! But, if you
haven’t you will not be receiving a February ‘Cat Tale’ and will be
dropped from the mailing list. If you have some question about your dues, call
Larry West at (918) 664-1743 or e-mail him at lwest66@swbell.net
. The form to
fill out and the mailing address to send your dues to are on the back of this
page. ‘Due’ it, today !
WINE & CHEESE PARTY
A big THANK YOU goes out to John McKeel and Jaguar Services of Tulsa for so
graciously sponsoring our Christmas wine and cheese patty. We had a lot of fun
with our Dirty Santa’ game again this year (amazing how mean some people can
be!) and a great selection of goodies to eat and drink. Next month we will have
a complete report about the party along with the pictures. In the meantime, stop
in and see John and his staff and thank him for a great party.
NEW JAG IN TOWN
One of our members decided he needed something better to replace his pick-up
so he went down to our friendly, neighborhood Jaguar Store (aka Jaguar of Tulsa)
and bought a brand new one.
Larry Banner is now tooling around town in a 2005 Jaguar Estate Wagon. The
Carnival Red car is really nifty and it is also the first and only Estate Wagon
in town! We have been hearing about this Wagon and the fact that it is a big
seller in Europe. Now you can see why. It is a beautiful and truly functional.
The lines are graceful, the interior well
appointed and comfortable. The 60/40 all wheel drive makes handling terrific,
and the gas mileage is great. It certainly beats a bulky, gas hogging SUV any
day. No doubt Larry will drive his new Jaguar to the Installation dinner and we
can all take a good look at it.
