Gourmet Lunch

Date: Thursday, February 16
Time: 12:30PM
Hostess: Tina Happel
Location: 120 S. 6th Avenue


RSVP to Sherry Glazov by February 8th 

 

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!
