Dinner-Friday night  6:00 pm  The Mesa Restaurant.  The Mesa Restaurant is across the street and east a short distance from the hotel.  The food is Italian and is about the best in town.  We will sit in the banquet room.  Please bring bragging rocks to show club members at dinner, petrified wood from your last trip or other favorites.

Breakfast at Dennys-One mile east of hotel on Navajo Blvd.  across the street.  Plan to leave the restaurant by 7:40 am to arrive at Navajo early.  We will leave the Navajo exit at 8:30 sharp.
