Another long, hard season is winding down. So join us this Saturday, November 10 from 7 - 10pm at La Cocina (www.lacocinanyc.com) on 85th & Broadway to catch up with friends, meet new ones and share your racing experiences and lessons learned.

For only $20 (for members/$30 for nonmembers and $25/$35 at door), you can drink until your heart's content and eat traditional Mexican fare. Join us for three (3!) hours of open bar, including food and stories (and even some well-thought-out lies!) about the 2007 season as well as an awards ceremony for some outstanding performances. We will recognize TANYC members for these and more categories:

Best IM Male/Female
Best Half IM Male/Female
Best Olympic Male/Female
Rookie of the Year Male/Female
