DAMES WHO DINE
DATE: September 21
TIME:   7:00 pm on Zoom
RSVP:  More info to come soon
In case you thought it wasn't possible to enjoy dinner with members during a pandemic, you would be mistaken!  The Membership Committee is scheduling monthly Dames Who Dine virtually. In our most recent Summer Supper, we learned that you can tickle tomato flowers to increase production; thanks for the tip, Judy Rusignuolo!  Jessica Botta shared her homemade lasagna, and while we couldn't taste it, we enjoyed seeing it and Drew Faulkner offered up advice on freezing eggplant. Join us next time because you never know what tips and tricks you will pick up and it's a great way for us to stay connected!
