Gourmet LunchHarvest Feast

Join Gourmet for a Holiday Feast!

Wendy Zeni, Co-hostess

&

Moya Belcaster, Co-hostess    

 

RSVP Sherry Glazov December 8     

 

Here's how it works: the hostess and co-hostess plan a menu. The co-hostess makes the main entree or meat dish and the hostess sets her table. Each attendee is assigned one item from the menu (i.e. appetizer, salad, drink, side dish or dessert). At the end, what each person spent is divided among the participants so the cost is equal. Please join us we love to see new faces! 


All are welcome!
