CBS BOARD

- ROBERT LEEDER -- NEXT LUNCHEON GATHERING.

Hello Everyone. The next luncheon of "The CBS Board" will be Saturday, May 19th, 2012. A couple of our colleagues who will be coming from some distance (Alabama and Florida) found it easier to plan if I could get the date settled upon now. I figure I might as well let everyone know. It may help all of you to plan. Time same as always: 12 Noon, Amarone Ristorante 63 Cedar Lane Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 1-201-833-1897. For those of you needing directions, just let me know, and I can send them to you. I will let you know if the menu is different in any way; but, as you know, it usually provides for those who like fish, white meat (veal), and chicken. Dessert is usually assorted fresh fruit platters, plus coffee, tea and soda. There will be a cash bar; and, as always, each of you will pay individually for your drinks. The restaurant will keep the charge at $28.00 per person including tax and tip, and we will collect it at the door as you enter. It will help if you can have $28 exactly. Please keep in mind that while there is street parking for Amarone Ristorante, it is LIMITED. There is also a fairly good size parking lot directly across the street. PLEASE RSVP AS SOON AS YOU CAN, CERTAINLY NO LATER THAN Friday, May 11Th. I look forward to seeing you on Saturday, May 19th! email. 201-777-3300. website: www.bobleeder.com

    Former WCBS anchor BOB GIBSON hosted these twice a year unofficial, informal, reservation-only, gatherings from 1993 through 2007. Six people attended the first luncheon. The meetings expanded to include CBS staffers, ex-staffers, friends, and guests. With Bob's retirement to Florida, long time broadcaster BOB LEEDER was elevated to "chairman" of the "board."
