*********

Bonnie Larson has graciously taken over as chair of this group. Please contact Bonnie by email, bonniejlarson63@comcast.net, if you’re planning to join the group. She will email those who have shown interest in these monthly luncheons, to inform them of the current Lunching Out location.  

An urgent request:  If you have to cancel your reservation at the last moment or a day or two before the lunch date because of some unforeseen event, please call Bonnie rather than using email. If you would like to be on a waiting list, in case of someone cancelling, let Bonnie know also.

On Friday, March 15, 2019, we went to Brick Farm Tavern in Hopewell for lunch. As each of us entered, we were all commenting on how beautiful the restaurant and grounds are.  We had a room to ourselves, which was good because we had 16 ladies. The waiter was Elaine Rafferty’s godson who was wonderful to our group. The menu was quite limited. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food, but some of the entrees were very small. Before ordering it is important to ask about your choice so you are not disappointed. It is farm to table and the food is organic, including the tea.
