[Board-2017] Table Reservations

[Glenn Michael]

Thanks for all of the input so far.  If we go the non reservation route, we
will have to change the house and dock rules, but that is not a big deal.
I want to get more input before we come to a final decision.  I do not want
to win a battle only to lose a war.

Thanks again,

Glenn
