Lunch Around the World

An informal subgroup of the FCC is launching Lunch Around the World to allow members to casually get together every other month and experience food from different nationalities. The first meeting will be held on October 8 at Iron Hill Brewery. We will gather ideas from attendees on where they’d like to dine. For questions, contact Karen Widin or Carol Bastian.
