      <title>2006 Holiday Party (benefitting CAFB) </title>
      <description>&lt;h3&gt;Party On&lt;/h3&gt;

Come on over to Dave &amp; Busters and help us celebrate a year of ridin' the Rails.  Our group is just one year old and we are now looking ahead to 2007.  Before we ring in the new year, let's take a moment to hang out and enjoy ourselves.   We'll have a full fajita buffet, some game cards, 2 billiards tables, and a shuffleboard table all to ourselves.   A cash bar will also be available.

&lt;h3&gt;Details&lt;/h3&gt;

WHERE: Dave &amp; Busters (Mopac and 183)&lt;p/&gt;
WHEN:  Tuesday, December 12th, 7-11PM &lt;p/&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Offering A Helping Hand&lt;/h3&gt;
I had a vision the other night.  In this vision, Austin On Rails not only fed themselves fajitas, but they also fed the hungry in Austin.    It is with this in mind, that I ask you to please bring a food donation as admission to the party.   I will deliver our donation to CAFB.

&lt;h3&gt;Donation Ideas&lt;/h3&gt;

These are the most commonly requested items at the &lt;a href="http://www.austinfoodbank.org/"&gt;Capital Area Food Bank&lt;/a&gt;:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;canned meats like tuna, stew and chili (pop-tops preferred)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;canned green beans, canned corn and other canned vegetables&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;pasta &amp; pasta sauce&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;pinto beans&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;rice&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;healthy cereal&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;peanut butter&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;baby food &amp; baby formula&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

These are just suggestions.  Please bring what you can.

&lt;h3&gt;Our Sponsor&lt;/h3&gt;
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Steven Smith and the whole &lt;a href="http://fiveruns.com/"&gt;FiveRuns&lt;/a&gt; team for their generous offering of support.   Without it, this celebration could not have happened!
