Thanks for a Great Time...Cleveland Rocked!!

[Ken]

A special big THANK YOU to Ken & Debbie/Jerry & Diane for all
of their efforts and hard work in making Marauderville 14
a great success enjoyed by all. Like I mentioned in another post, we only set the agenda/venues. It's the people that make the events legendary! So, With that said, I wish to thank each and every one that attended and made it what it was. I'm just glad that everything worked out!
A Cleveland native I have wanted to ride the CVSR for the past
40 years and Marauderville finally made it happen. LOL Isn't that the truth, we generally don't play the tourist in our own towns!
Nice to meet some old friends and make some new ones, Great to see you Al, I missed thanking you before you left the car show
including Steve Babcock.....truly a great guy. Truth! :beer:

Gotta Love It!

Come back anytime! :beer:

And make sure to let us know that you're coming, I'm sure that we can meet up at least once.

If you didn't get to see the second floor of the Cleveland Hofbrau, attached is an idea of a great place to hold a party. A few of us went to the party area...WOW!

Those must be canned photos of the ballroom and the private meeting rooms & bar. You must be a Hermit Club member to use or rent those facilities. My wife and I along with Dan & Julie walked back there and up to the 2nd floor ballroom on the night we had dinner there. We got some pics. It was not set up like it is in your pics. Very impressive nonetheless. The private dining area was just like a real gasthaus in Germany. The theater/ballroom upstairs with its timber Tudor architecture made me feel I was in a castle in old England waiting for the Knights of the Round Table. That reminds me that I have to research "The Hermit Club" founded in 1904. They still meet there in those rooms. Lots of the club's memorabilia in cases and hanging on the walls.

The Hermit Club is the nation's oldest continuously operating private non-professional performing arts club. They offer performances in drama, orchestra, big band, jazz, chamber music, choral, choir and more. They host many events throughout the year including the Wassail Bowl (formal dinner & dance) at Christmas time. Must be a member to participate and use their private Bierstube/bar and restaurant area. The Hermit Club has operated under a lease with the Hofbrauhaus since 2014 which provides all of their food and beverage service for meetings and events. Prior to that the club operated under a 99 year lease with the Playhouse Theater District which had expired. The Hermit Club was established in 1904. If I was a Cleveland resident, I'd definitely be a member.
