Menus are set with a choice of soup/salad and 3-5 main entrees while others may be buffet. We normally have cocktails around 5:00 pm. followed by dinner and are planning some mid-morning Brunches and noon hour Luncheons in 2023.

Members are notified by email of the date, restaurant, menu choices and prices and are asked to confirm their participation. Both "Singles" and "Couples" are welcome—we do have a fair number of "singles" join on a regular basis.
