Welcome to day 29 of February! This year we get an additional day making this a 366 day year. Those born on this date only get to celebrate their birthdays every 4 years. So if you're born on this day and attending this event make sure we know so we can sing, "Happy Birthday" to you! You can also answer the question, when do you celebrate your birthday on those other 3 years, 28 February or 1 March?
You can also come by and tell Lotsagray "hello" as she will be back in town for a little while again. She is coming up from Minnesota and said she would be more then happy to bring us cooler weather and some snow! LOL! 
Today you will also earn a special souvenir for attending this event or another event.
Stammtisch: Loosely translated from German meaning a "regular get-together." Literally speaking, the word Stammtisch is a table in a bar or restaurant which is reserved for the same guests at the same time every day or every week. There is usually a sign on the table saying "Stammtisch." If you don't belong to this table, don't attempt to sit there! In the most traditional German beer halls there is a large brass plaque above the table with the word Stammtisch printed on it in bold lettering.
There can be all kinds of Stammtisch. There are those simply for friends to drink together. Or those for specific interest groups - say a "Philosophy Discussion Stammtisch" or a "Stamp Collectors Stammtisch". In our case, I hope to start a "Geocaching Stammtisch."
This event is continuing the new Alaskan caching tradition of cachers informally, but regularly, getting together to swap stories, tips, and tricks over a meal or beverage. I'll pass the torch to the next host who will specify the time and location for the next event.
Happy February 29th!
