Winter Luncheon

Come enjoy the afternoon with some fungi friends, tasty potluck, silent auction and an excellent speaker. Bring a dish to share and don’t forget to make a label listing all ingredients to alert people with dietary preferences. Alcoholic beverages will not be provided but feel free to bring your own. The club will provide coffee and tea. Ice and water will also be available. Don’t forget to bring your own place settings!

Cici Tompkins will be organizing our Silent Auction. Please consider donating items to the silent auction, one of the highlights of the day. Highest bidder wins so don’t forget to bring cash or a check. Space is limited to 100. Registrations after February 28th will be assessed a late fee of $5.00 per adult. March 3rd is the final day for online registration. To attend after the deadline, you must contact the registrar, Stephanie Keil, to check on availability. No one will be admitted without a reservation. At the luncheon, check in and grab a name tag when you arrive. Volunteers will be needed to set up at 11am and clean up afterwards. If you’d be so kind, on the registration form, please indicate your willingness to help.

And now, a little about our speaker for the day:
