Short Notice Social Event for USS Olympia Crew

The Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Naval Submarine League (NSL) is inviting all submariner’s and guest to a social event with crew members of USS Olympia (SSN 717) at the Horse and Cow Pub and Grill.
Event Details 
When: Sunday, January 29th. Time 1600-1900. FYI, the Pro Bowl starts at 1700, but since that’s such a silly game, you should come to the H&C and have fun with us.

What: A reception honoring crew members from the USS Olympia while they’re here. The NSL will provide the pupus (appetizers) at no cost to you. No host beverages, but the H&C has great Happy Hour pricing from 4-7pm.

Where: We will be at the Horse and Cow Pub and Grill, 536 4th Street, Bremerton, a self-proclaimed festive submarine-themed watering hole. For the uninitiated, there is a great collection of submarine memorabilia covering the walls, a submariner vibe, and great food and drink. For those who have been to other generations of this establishment, this is not the one you may have gone to at Mare Island, San Diego, or the most recent local version in Chico (I understand the one in Guam is nice, too). Much nicer and worth a stop off.
You can check out the Horse and Cow on their website. It is four blocks to/from the ferry if you’re coming over from Seattle. Here is a Google Maps link for location and directions. 
There is somewhat limited street parking but there are several garages close by. Should be easier on a Sunday.

RSVP?: No RSVP required. If you’re planning on bringing a big crowd, I’d appreciate a heads up.

Who: All active duty sailors, NSL members and guests, and submarine veterans. We’re also having members of the Bremerton-Olympic Peninsula Navy League Council join us. Pass the word!

I’m hoping that some of you who have a hard time getting away from work for luncheons can make this event. It’s something new that I think you’ll enjoy. Please mark your calendars and plan to stop by.

Thanks,
Bob
