February Lunch
We will resume our Potluck Lunch tradition while continuing to offer the Brown Bag option for those preferring a personal lunch.
If I bring a dish for potluck,
what should I bring?
Something tasty! We don’t try to coordinate what members bring. It is possible, we might end up with all desserts or all meat loaf. But somehow it always turns out okay. Sometimes we have themes for our menus, but these are suggestions.
If you don’t have time or the inclination to cook, just buy it, put it in a nice dish, and tell us it is an old family recipe.
As for how much – you don’t need to bring enough for 40, just bring a good sized family portion – whatever your recipe says and fits in your casserole dish or bowl.
Be sure to grab your casserole dish, bowl or platter back after lunch.

New Year's resolutions benefiting health and our environment were the theme at the Heritage Group's January meeting as members entered a clubhouse adorned with artistically arranged fresh produce centerpieces complemented by excellent composting/recycling tip sheet displays.
Thank-you to Rebecca Marek, Monthly Head Hostess, for her ever creative and attractive decor and Arlene Veach, Betsy Boston, and Elizabeth Ruthven for their roles in making this day possible.
Appreciative thanks also goes out to Cathey Harrison for facilitating the fresh produce donation to Heights Interfaith Ministries Food Pantry.
