The Eighteenth Dinner of the SGVGMDG at The Raymond Restaurant

******I have had to make a change of venue for this event. Instead of Nick's Restaurant, we will be meeting at The Raymond Restaurant in Pasadena/South Pasadena. I will explain later. This restaurant is a "bit" pricier than I would like for our dinners, but a wonderful restaurant. As for now, we have outdoor seating. Please plan to cover up a bit if you are prone to being cold
This is an amazing group, and the wonderful men who attend the dinners make it so. Thank you, gentlemen! But (!), I would love meeting more guys. Everyone is greeted with open arms. This will be our informal Christmas celebration. If you have any thoughts, concerns, or suggestions, please contact me; I am here to make it more accessible and comfortable for you. My thanks to Gary for taking the wonderful pictures.
Somehow, we figure out how to settle the bill after learning of the restaurant's policy on multiple checks, and I make sure no one is cheated. Let's have fun and ring in 2025 with lots of gusto. We deserve it.
