Dinner will be catered by Dona Marias and will feature a buffet of Mexican cuisine of such favorites as enchiladas, flautas, tacos along with salad, chips, salsa, and drinks. The banquet price will be only $25.00 for this special evening. Plan on attending an evening with other Central Coast members for good conversation, a tasty meal, an interesting program, and a raffle of railroad books or memorabilia.Note: There is no third Friday meeting in March. Please get your reservations in soon, but no later than Monday March 10.
Social time will begin at 5:00 pm and dinner will start at 6:00 pm. The Program will begin as dinner concludes. It will be a special historical presentation presented by Steve Johnson and will cover the building of the first Transcontinental Railroad. It will include a bio of Theodore Judah, who was the actual planner of the route. The presentation will also include how the route was decided on and who Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, Charles Crocker, and Collis P. Huntington were. He will discuss how Theodore Judah planned the route, talk about the crews of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific and their struggles, and cover the completion of the railroad and its consequence.
