At night it morphs into a sushi bar/nouvelle American dining room/wine connoisseur hangout. On the weekend things heat up with live music--a little jazz or some swing--that draws plenty of Durham yuppies and designer-clad Duke co-eds.   The Food Fresh, appealing ingredients and the trendiest of dishes, George's lunch buffet allows diners massive choices--everything from herb-roasted chicken and garlic mashed potatoes to hummus and dolmades. The dinner menu too offers a wide range of choices, from catfish to couscous. Required eating: Catch this dish if you can: jumbo sea scallops served with a lemon-thyme risotto and jumbo shrimp. RSVP's are welcome, but not required, to help determine the approximate number of people attending; we would like to reserve a section of the restaurant if enough people attend.  Please send your RSVP's to [EMAIL PROTECTED].   Directions:   From Raleigh:     Go West on I-40 to the Durham Freeway (SR-147).     Take SR-147 North to Swift Avenue Exit.     Turn right onto Swift Avenue.     Get into left-most lane as soon as possible.     Turn left onto Main Street (at light).     Turn right onto Ninth Street (second right from Swift/Broad).     George's Garage is on your left.   For a map of the area, please click here:   http://triangle.citysearch.com/map?mode=geo&lat=360085&lon=-789223&id=6199605&fid=2     ================================================================ Durham Bulls Giveaway Fundraiser:   When:  Saturday, July 27 Time:  5:30 PM Where:  Durham Bulls Athletic Park   We need five or six volunteers to help raise money for TYJP, to help defray the cost of running TYJP.  We will be helping the Durham Bulls give away baseball caps to the Fans prior to the game.  Based upon the past few giveaways, volunteers will only be "working" 15-20 minutes.  Also, volunteers will receive complimentary tickets to the game, which begins at 7:00 PM.  If interested, please provide your name, Email address, and phone numbers (day and evening).  The first five or six people who contact Michael Cohen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) will be given more details.     You may be wondering, why should you volunteer?  Several reasons:     It's a mitzvah!     TYJP membership was free this year.     It will be fun!     TYJP needs money to continue to operate.  (Do you really think this Email List-serve and our web page are free?)     It's a mitzvah!   If you have any questions, please contact Michael Cohen at [EMAIL PROTECTED].   Update:  As of July 10, we still need a one or two volunteers.   ================================================================ More Upcoming Events:   Mark your calendars for the following events; more information will follow in other Emails.     July 31, 2002:  TYJP Planning Meeting at 7:00 PM      August 7, 2002:  Schmooze & Views, Location TBD     August 11, 2002:  Crafts Day, Location & Time TBD     *August 15, 2002:  Happy Hour, Location TBD in Cary/Raleigh   *If you have any suggestions for, or wish to host, any of the above Happy Hours, please contact Michael Cohen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).   Also, if you have any ideas or suggestions for activities or events for the time frame of August 16 through December 31, please contact Michael Cohen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), or just come to the July 31 Planning Meeting.  We need volunteers and ideas if we are going to keep TYJP active and alive.   ================================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + This is the Triangle Young Jewish Professional mailing list. + + TYJP web site: http://rtpnet.org/tyjp/ + + Send all list commands to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. + + To unsubscribe send the following in the message body: +    UNSUBSCRIBE tyjp-l + + To subscribe send the following in the message body: +    SUBSCRIBE  tyjp-l YourFirstName YourLastName <email address> + +       for example: +          SUBSCRIBE tyjp-l Joe Schmoe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> + + For a complete list of commands send the following in the message body: +    HELP -------------------------------------------------------------------------
