Mimico Cruising Club
is again welcoming Shellbacks to their Wednesday Buffet. Price is the same as
last year...about $10 for the buffet...and good company. Starts next Wednesday
and we have asked management to squeal on MCC / Shellbacks who attend until our
"year" is over.
Go to the gate and say you are there for Shellbacks.
Cards only at MCC. Come any time after 1145. Early is better to sit above to the
salt.

be Jamaica and Cuba. Aubrey and Judy are favourites of Shellbacks but couldn't
