Bosco's
Bones (named after a dog who was the honorary mayor of Sunol -- a
statue of Bosco is beside the village post office) has long been the
center of the small village of Sunol. The menu features a variety of
choices -- appetizers (from $6 to $20), entrees (from $14 to $19), and
dessert ($10). Two items on the kids menu.
See the menu at the link below.

Beer, wine, & cocktails are available for individual purchase.
Separate checks per couple/family/individual. There will be a slight upcharge for payment by credit card.
Based on its popularity in prior years, we will again have a free wine raffle at
this year's holiday party. Each person (21 yrs. & older) will
receive a raffle ticket. Winners will be drawn from a hat for 10
bottles of wine, compliments of the club. Based on expected attendance,
that works out to about one bottle for every 3 adults. Pretty good
odds!
Please
advise Gordon Gillmouth (gillmouth@yahoo.com) if you will attend and
how many in your party. Also, as Bosco's Bones is a small restaurant,
they have asked that we provide our menu order in advance so they can
ensure they have your choice on hand.
Please
let Gordon know by Thursday, Dec. 1 -- name of those attending and
their menu choice -- so we can give the restaurant an advance head &
meal count.
We hope to see you there.
