[NLRS] Will need a new breakfast localtion

[WA2VOI, Donn]

Today I looked around and then talked to the Perkins Restaurant at the corner of 
Snelling and County Road 'B' (1495 County Road B West).

They would be happy to have us for Breakfast.  They have a "back room" we can 
use that is larger tha we'd need, but its also "quiet."  They do ask that we 
call ahead (Thursday or Friday - 651-633-8080) and let them know we'll be there 
and with an "estimate" of how many will be there.  I explained that we don't 
know until we show up, but "8 to 12 or 14" is the kind of estimate they're 
looking for, so I don't think that would be a problem.

This Perkins is less than 1-1/2 mile from the Old Country Buffet at Failrview & 
Cnty B2, so its not far out of the way.  Did I mention they have a back room. 
And, they weren't upset by our being there from 8:30 to 10AM or later.  Prices 
are actually competive with what we paid at OCB, although its not a buffet.

The restaurant is in the NE corner of Snelling and County Rd B, more or less "in 
the Target parking lot."  Across the street from Har-Mar Mall and slightly east 
of the Mall.

Personally, I think would be a good place to meet.  The first meeting there, if 
we choose to do it, would be this Saturday, 13 Feb 2016, 8:30 AM.  Now, we need 
to find a similar place in Richfied (or there-abouts).
