WHERE THE UNDERSEA WARRIOR ELITE MEET & EAT
Our regular, (i.e. most months) every 2nd Thursday evening
meetings are held at Candela's.
Happy Hour & Dinner 1700-1900,
Meeting 1900-2000
We occasionally have Saturday meetings such as those at the Tenaska
Power Station or our annual October picnic at Bill Wellner's. We may also
meet on a Saturday at a venue to be suggested by members and voted on by
those attending our regular Thursday meetings. A typical Saturday meeting
schedule might be:
Lunch & Fellowship 1100-1300,
Meeting & Presentation 1300-1500
CANDELA'S - We're all big boys and should be able to find our way to any
address provided (ha), however, here is one set of directions (from
Charlottesville) to Candela's and a map for
navigationally challenged members (like the Webmaster who oftentimes has to use
his GPS unit). This is from MapQuest,
but we can add other directions if anyone would like to submit them. This place is really just up the road from Dena's on Route 60
(Midlothian Turnpike) where we used to meet so it should be pretty painless for most of us.
The buttons on the left side are for
meeting locations we've used in the past, some of which we may well use
again so that's why they have been left up. We'll add additional buttons for Saturday venue locations
as we may select them.

Tenaska Power Plant in case Robert ever invites us back.
For our archives: We voted at the December 2nd, 2004 meeting to relocate our meeting place
from the Hooter's/Piccadilly Cafeteria combo to Dena's - where we
enjoyed the Happy Hour period and dinner along with conducting our meeting at a single location.
This change was effective with the first meeting in 2005 so on January 6th about
14 of us showed up and learned that there had been a scheduling glitch for the
first Thursday reservations. Since we all agreed that Dena's was a great place to meet, Jack
Winn coordinated a vote with those present, plus other members via e-mail, and
it was decided to stay at Dena's but move the date to the third Thursday.
Since we didn't conduct our usual meeting on January 6th, it was also decided to
schedule our next meeting on the third Thursday in January - January 20th
- However, due to weather conditions that meeting was canceled. Our next
meeting was February 17th and our new officers were installed and our ladies joined us for dinner
at that meeting which began at 1700 with the
meeting following at 1900. The next chapter in this saga occurred at our June
16th meeting during which we voted to move our meeting day to the SECOND
Thursday of every month, beginning July 14th. TO REITERATE THEN - WE NOW WILL
MEET EVERY SECOND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH BEGINNING JULY 14TH. And the final (we
hope) chapter is that Dena's went bankrupt and so we relocated our meeting venue
to Candela's Pizzeria & Italiano at 14235 Midlothian Turnpike, Midlothian, VA
23113 - but still the SECOND THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH.
