Event starts on March 19th at 5:00 pm. Price is $89 per person. Our club will be attending the event together but we are all responsible for our own train tickets and overnight accommodations (if desired). You purchase your tickets online at https://www.sierradinnertrain.com/experiences/murder-mystery and reserve your hotel room at one as near as possible in Oakdale. There are full details in the event section of this site (Click on corresponding sidebar icon). Detailed information on the train ride itself can be obtained from the website above. Find directions by clicking here. The event is described by the Train’s website as:

Our signature Dinner Train gets a dose of intrigue with an interactive murder mystery show. The price of your ticket includes the three-hour train ride, four courses of American fare with unlimited coffee and soft drinks, and fun and immersive dinner theatre.

As the train rolls along, you’ll meet a cast of quirky characters who will draw you into their drama as they squabble, scheme, and ultimately kill each other. We’ll be counting on you to solve the case while you dine.

Dinner Menu*

Start your evening with a shrimp cocktail.

Continue the meal with soup or salad. Our chef will choose the perfect compliment for the meal and the season. (Most dinner trips occurring in the winter will feature soup.)

Choose from the following entrée selections:

Beef Tenderloin Medallion: Twin 3 oz. beef tenderloin medallions served with mashed potatoes and topped with portobello mushrooms, tomatoes, smoked bacon mixture, and finished with gorgonzola crumbles and a light au jus sauce.
Mediterranean Chicken: Seared chicken breast topped with sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, olives, button mushrooms, and finished with feta cheese crumbles, balsamic syrup and basil oil. Served with mashed potatoes.
Seared Salmon: Pan-seared salmon is served atop a bed of rice pilaf, finished with a basil-dill cream sauce.
Garden Lasagna: Vegetarian lasagna layered with fresh garden veggies in a spicy marinara.
* Please notify Sierra DinnerTrain of any dietary restrictions or food allergies while making your reservations so that our kitchen may accommodate you. We are limited in addressing these needs once aboard the train.

Super Bowl Party was a Hit! http://khayanpyareinmet.com/2016/02/09/super-bowl-party-was-a-hit/ http://khayanpyareinmet.com/2016/02/09/super-bowl-party-was-a-hit/#respond Tue, 09 Feb 2016 04:25:47 +0000 http://khayanpyareinmet.com/?p=1290  

Khayan 160207-_DSC446532 members attended the 5th annual Khayan Super Bowl Party for SUPER BOWL 50 where we watched the Denver Broncos trounce the Carolina Panthers 21 to 10. Based on the cheers and jeers the crowd appeared to favor the Panthers but to no avail. Members also enjoyed the scrumptious food served in excess including Maria Gutherie’s famous clam chowder. A lot of our two-seater birds were also driven to the event which always shows club spirit not to mention you get additional Khayan BUCKS!

 

There are additional photos and information are available on our Club’s Facebook Group.  All members are encouraged to join the Facebook Group for more club related photos, discussions and information.

Egyptian Museum Event Last Saturday http://khayanpyareinmet.com/2016/01/30/latest-event-egyptian-museum/ http://khayanpyareinmet.com/2016/01/30/latest-event-egyptian-museum/#respond Sat, 30 Jan 2016 10:36:40 +0000 http://khayanpyareinmet.com/?p=890

On Janua160130-20160130_114843ry 30th, Khayan’s event was to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose where we spent the afternoon looking at one of the best collection of Egyptian artifacts in the country.   Architecturally inspired by the Temple of Amon at Karnak, it houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts on exhibit in western North America — including objects from pre dynastic times through Egypt’s early Islamic era. The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum has many examples of cat images from ancient Egypt, in every material from bronze, through wood, and including mummies!

We started out from the Bagel Street Café in Danville and drove to our second member pickup point at the Starbuck’s in Pleasanton.  We had over 20 members and 8 Thunderbirds in attendance.  After the museum we caravanned to “Bosco’s Bones and Brew” restCaptureaurant where we had a delicious dinner where we were able to order off the menu for amazingly low prices.Capture

It was a great event and any of you that didn’t go, “Missed A Good One”.Capture

A copy of the revised bylaws are ratified, they will be available to all members either by email or printed copy if desired. Don’t hesitate to call any of our board members with any questions or comments.
