“ValPresMardiNewYear” Dinner at Yummy Bowl 🍜🍛🍱
Yummy Bowl, 1214 Central Park Drive, O'Fallon, IL, USLet’s celebrate “ValPresMardiNewYear”! That’s Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Day (Washington’s Birthday), Mardi Gras, and Chinese New Year all rolled up into one big celebration! February is a busy month and we couldn’t decide which holiday to observe so we are going to observe them all by having a delicious meal with our 618 & Beyond friends at Yummy Bowl in O’Fallon.
Yummy Bowl has an assortment of Asian food including a build-your-own-bowl Mongolian stir-fry, crispy Korean fried chicken, Japanese authentic ramen, and a full sushi bar. https://eatyummybowl.com
Space is limited to 18 people. Please sign up individually (no +1 guests) so as many actual members can go as possible. If you want a non-member to come, get them to join 618 & Beyond so they can sign up for the dinner themselves.
Please do not sign up unless you truly plan on attending this event. We want to be courteous and have an accurate headcount for the waitstaff. Tickets can be split between everyone to pay individually or as couples. It’s a large group so there will be an automatic 18% gratuity.
Looking forward to seeing all of you at our ValPresMardiNewYear’s dinner! 🍜🍱🍛19 attendees
