Looking for hostesses for our annual Progressive Dinner, which is coming up Saturday, June 3.

Appetizer course and cocktail hour begins at Ann Marie Pirnat’s house (2150 Meadowmont Dr) at 5pm, then we spread out to homes for the entree course. Entree hostesses just need a table and chairs and dishes and silverware (or paper plates and plastic silverware–you choose). After dinner, we’ll reconvene at Chele Lopacinski’s house (1677 Northgate Dr) for dessert!

Join us for a taste of the Mediterranean!

As the day approaches, additional details will be posted. Community day booths open at 11 a.m.

Please join us on Tuesday, May 23, at 7:30, at Megan Watson’s home (1812 Tyburn Lane) for May’s book club meeting to discuss Jojo Moyes’s novel One Plus One. Even if (or perhaps especially if) the last thing you read was Good Night, Moon, please come for the laughter, food and drinks. I know this has been written often, but if you don’t have time to read the book please come anyway. Reading the book may be an easy way to create a common connection, but forming friendships certainly doesn’t involve required reading.

RSVP

Let’s meet for dinner out at Friday, May 26, at 7 p.m. at Atria’s in Mt. Lebanon. Be sure to RSVP so we can make a reservation. See you there!

Our inaugural meeting of the  Babes of Bunco, USC Newcomers Club, was lots of fun, as maybe you heard if you weren’t there. The plan is to play on the first Wednesday of every month, so our next meeting will be April 5 at 7:00 p.m. at Frances Scher’s home (1025 Tall Trees Dr.). Bring a snack to share and $5 so we can offer cash prizes to four lucky winners! If you can’t make it every time, we can use subs from time to time. No experience required! We will explain the rules each time. Just a fun, get-to-know you type of dice game for ladies only. You’ll be glad you came!
