The Club’s annual Holiday Party will be held at the Makong River Restaurant, 3241 Southwest Freeway, (713) 669-9375.  This is the same restaurant we used last year, except that the name has changed.  The Club has reserved the upstairs function room and as usual, will be giving away MIT-themed door prizes (how about them MIT shoe laces from the 1996 party?)  The restaurant is on the south feeder road of the Southwest Freeway and is located between Edloe and Buffalo Speedway.  Check the Club’s website for a map.  Although RSVPing is not mandatory, to help us with logistics please call me to let me know if you are planning to attend (H) 713.524.9319
