10 August 2010  - Summer Luncheon

Will be held at Noon at the Williamsburg Lodge.  The Lodge is located at 310 S. England Street, Williamsburg.

The Lodge will be serving a buffet lunch, and their buffet is always a delicious treat.  The menu will include three cold salads, two soups, three hot entrees (usually chicken, pork and fish), potatoes, vegetables, fresh fruit and desserts.

 Cost:  At $19.44 per person (includes a non-alcoholic beverage, tax and tip) we believe this is a bargain.  Your server will collect the bill following the meal.

 Attire:  In celebration of Summer we encourage the wearing of Highland/Scottish attire for those who wish to liven up the scenery.

 Entertainment:  The guest speaker is our own Alex Andrews, and his topic will be "In the Footsteps of Livingstone." 

 Reservations:   If you can come, please notify Marshall Thomas, e-mail  andrion2@cox.net , phone 565-2362.  Let us know how many people are in your party.  Please let us know before August 3.
