Good-bye/Birthday Dinner for Alex April 19th
 I would like to thank the club members so much for giving Alex such a wonderful experience with us during his exchange.  Club members have really stepped forward to spend time with him and show him a great time. He will have fulfilled his bucket list and is really grateful to all of us.  Here he is in Chinatown - thanks Jing!
 
I am planning a good-bye/birthday dinner for Alex two days after his 17th birthday and the night before he leaves us, on Wednesday, April 19 at 6 pm at the White Eagle Restaurant, a well-known Polish restaurant located at 6839 N Milwaukee Ave. in Niles. I would like to reserve a semi-private room for us, the Wheeling Club members and the host families.  In order for me to make the reservation, I will need to know how many people will be attending soon. The cost for a Polish Family Style dinner is approximately $37 per person, and there will be a cash bar.  It will be fun!
 
Again, thanks for all of the support you have shown to Alex.  Please email me if you can attend his dinner.  Dietary restrictions will be accommodated, and please mention those when you email me.  Weiss.martha@gmail.com
