Friday evening, we’ll have an Ice Breaker – location to be announced.
We will meet for lunch at Zehnder's at approxmately 12:00 noon. It is a world-famous family-style restaurant that specializes in fried chicken but has a menu to accommodate all diners. It is America’s largest family restaurant.

We are planning a trip to meet Larry Holmes in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada at approximately 1:00 pm. We'll have personal and rental cars and can car pool. Location for lunch is the Mandarin Buffet, which offers an array of delicious items at a reasonable price (senior discount, too!). This is, of course, a pretty long day trip. If time permits, we may see Niagara Falls. All will drive back to Frankenmuth to rest up for Monday.
The day has been set aside for shopping in Frankenmuth, and will include a trip to Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland, the world’s largest Christmas store. The FC of C has a great array of shops listed in the web site: http://members.frankenmuth.org/membership.asp?id=9
If possible, we will meet up at the Drury Inn & Suites for an early breakfast before our departure. Everyone should be checking out of the hotels and going home - hopefully with a heart full of friendships new and renewed.
