This months dinner will be held at the Laurelwood Public House & Brewery on Thursday, January 28, 2010 at 7:00pm. When planning for this months dinner I remembered the main reason that I have not been to more, lack of babysitting. So this month we are going to my son's favorite restaurant. I really enjoy the beer (and food). The atmosphere is casual, we will be in a private room upstairs, and the food is good quality pub fare. Come by and sample some of there award winning beer and spend an evening with friends. | ||||

Thats right, the March club dinner will be held on Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 7pm at Nostrana. Eater PDX describes Nostrana as: "Intensely regional Italian food, wood-fired oven pizza, and nothing on the entire menu for more than $20 make Cathy Whims (once of Genoa) the most renowned woman chef in … Portland. A barrel vaulted exposed wood ceiling, tons of windows, and just enough chatter to brighten things up make Nostrana the most renowned casual-enough place in town." So why not join your local BMW friends to enjoy a wonderful dinner. | ||||
