A series of UN-fancy meals, scheduled on Thursdays in January and February, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.* Each dinner will feature a hearty main dish, salad, drink and dessert. Served buffet style. If you’d like to attend, use the sign up sheet below [inactive – these meals have been eaten!], or email your host (ds83473@gmail.com) for more information.
