No. Perhaps we can set qualifiers and I can ask the help of a State or local organization in nominating a family(ies).

I think it would be nice if we could help a family that a UC member personally knows or knows of - helping as locally as possible.
So to bump this thread a little, a recap of the next two months:
January
MM in Asheville Jan 2 - We still need a location & time designated. Adam or David, have any ideas?
Month Event: Jan 15-18 HAMOM in Watkinsville to rehabilitate a fallen soldier's FJ40. https://forum.ih8mud.com/sc-upstate-cruisers/324116-hamom-father-soldier-killed-iraq.html
February
MM & Pool tourney at Barley’s in Greenville Feb 6th. We should have a good time at this place. We've always been able to get a pretty long section of tables for everyone to sit, talk, enjoy dinner, etc...and then we move upstairs to the pool hall and enjoy a little competition.
Wheeling Options:
Durhamtown with LcLC Feb 19-21 www.durhamtown.com
My suggestion (in place of Durhamtown) is:
River Rock in Milledgeville, GA It's just about the same driving distance and I've heard the trails are better. I don't think anyone in our group has been before, so it would be something new for all of us.
RiverRockORV.com
I haven't heard much feedback from the Lowcountry on this option, so plan on joining the gang from the south at Durhamtown. I'll let David Benke and David Milligan post up the details of this trip.
Can we sticky this thread?

There is a nice Outback near the highway in Hendersonville where an MG club regularly meets. Big parking lot, easy access to folks from SC and shorter disatance. Thoughts?

I like Outback, but during these hard economic times could we support locally owned businesses? It can make a big difference (trust me on that one).

I default to david on asheville. What about a picnics type place David?
Adam, Picnics (a local place) is going out of business at the end of the year.
As to Outback, everyone who works at Outback is local . . .
I have a bunch of friends who wait at places like these and they would greatly appreciate the generous tips that UCers are known for leaving. While by no means cheap, there are some economies of scale, consistency, and variety that make chain restaurants a good choice for large groups.
There are some great local places I could recommend, but please be prepared to shell out $50 a head. I eat at them whenever I get the chance and a few of them, including Barleys and Ed Boudreauxs, are owned by friends of mine. I fiqure we are headed to Barleys in Greenvile so I have eliminated that one from the list. With that caveat, here you go:
1. The Corner Kitchen in Biltmore Village. Perhaps the best restaurant I have ever been to.http://thecornerkitchen.com/
2. The Purple Onion in Saluda, NC. Funky and usually has some music on saturday night. Ample parking, even closer to the Upstate. http://www.purpleonionsaluda.com/
3. The Moose Cafe at the Farmers Market in Asheville. Reasonably priced country cooking, but no alcohol (that I can recall). Lots of parking.http://eatatthemoosecafe.com/

That's all I got folks.

Anyplace in Weaverville? Wasnt there a pizza place we were going to go to?
mmmm Corner Kitchen. Would give me a reason to go up to Biltmore for the day.
Speaking of Biltmore we ought to contact them and see if they would let us all hangout up there for a monthly meeting. We could eat at the sandwhich shop where all the shops are.
I know the rover guys go up there every once in a while. Heck I'm pretty sure they have a few trails on the property we might be able to talk them in to.

Haus Heilderberg in Hendersonville
Please see at Haus Heidelberg German Restaurant, Hendersonville, NC 28792 powered by LOOBOO.com - local restaurant, dining.
The best food and beer!! Been here once and always thought about taking the club here.

did we lock this down? I guess D. Davis is out for now, so we are on our own. Does the German place work for everyone?
Works for me.

Another thing to put on the calander is Adopt a Highway....if it's already there I didn't look before posting
Thanks for the reminder Chuck! I think we should make this the May monthly meeting. We don't have any plans for the MM that month and after the hard work is done, we can all sit down and have a meal & 
somewhere nearby.
We have a particular section we clean up but I don't recall where it is or what is nearby that we could use for the dinner/meeting place.
Can someone chime in?

We could do a section by the holy land and have a bbq at my place after? Just thinking.
Adam, that sounds like a grand idea but the club has adopted a particular section in the upstate. We meet at the F-Mart and then head up the highway from this intersection...
