Featured Event! Mountain MidLife Dinner
Thank you to the dozens of participants who made our after-dinner folk dance last month so much fun! Sign up now to join us on Friday, October 21. Note that we dine on Third Fridays for the Fourth Quarter. The basic menu is: Argentinian Beef (Peppers & Onions), Sauteed Vegetables, Polenta, Fruit – and always some additional delicious dish for our vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free friends. As a reminder, you are always welcome to bring your own wine and beer (don’t forget openers and glasses) to our dinners. Doors open at 5:00pm with meal served at 5:30pm. Please volunteer to check in folks in at the door – a great chance to meet everyone and learn their names.
