Also integral to the Eleven Eleven Club experience is a membership dinner party preceeding the 11:11 PM bet.  For a number of years, the festivities were held at [http://www.angelonis.com/ '''Angeloni's II''' Restaurant and Lounge]; however, in [[2006]] an [http://www.ebay.com eBay] charity auction was held to determine a sponsor for the dinner.  That auction was won by the [http://www.wonderbarac.com/ Wonder Bar] and an enjoyable dinner was had in their Sunset Room.  (Incidentally, the Wonder Bar won the auction for only $11, but was kind enough to add another $50 donation to the charitable cause.)

==Future initiatives==

The Eleven Eleven Club was encouraged by the turnout of 16 participants in 2006, about half of whom were first-timers in the experience.  There has been some talk of organizing more officially as a 501(c)(7) recreational club.  Furthermore, given the success of the Wonder Bar sponsorship along with complementary discounted lodging provided by Showboat, the club intends to more aggressively pursue corporate co-sponsors for various aspects of future engagements.
