NYCC volunteer recognition dinner
Hal, thanks for the special recognition, but so long as you expect, oh, say, more than four, maybe five people, it's highly unlikely I'll come. I just don't enjoy parties or large gatherings—which I define as six or more people including me. Never have. Never will. I attribute it to my lack of social skills, my social maladroitness. I will come to my own funeral in the expectation it will not be larger than four or five people. But will the four or five of you please keep the small talk to a minimum lest I be made to feel uncomfortable?
Richard, my father said the same thing about his funeral, and then something like 100 people came... although they were mostly my mother's friends. But in your case, sorry, please expect the entire NYCC to attend. We will sit around for hours telling our favorite Richard stories, then we will name a local hill after you, and begin an annual Richard Rosenthal Memorial Ride - perhaps a 3-day club weekend.
I double park on a bike lane - just to be there for Richard's funeral. ~Just kidding

A number of you have replied to [email protected] asking that your participation be forwarded to
the proper person. Not to worry, I am the proper person & I am receiving your confirmations.
For those who are not sure if they qualify, as was the case of several people who asked me last night, re-read the bulletin / web description of “qualifications” and if still not sure e-mail me at the events address.
Points of information. I suggest not bringing your bike as the wine bar will be an “open bar” [all you’d like]. Mixed drinks will be a cash bar but at $5 per instead of their usual $7.
And now, since this is a Volunteer Recognition Dinner, I’m going to get shameless and ask for 2 volunteers who are good with a camera to take photos of the evening. You can respond at [email protected] see you all thurs 2-22-07. hal eskenazi– dir special events
