What's New at Lunch? RRC Goes Family Style Beginning July 13Close your eyes and think of the last family style dinner you attended. Do you see platters of food being passed around, smell the aroma of the food, hear the easy conversation around the table, laughing and talking together, and feel the warmth of fellowship? That's the new lunch time vibe RRC is seeking as we move from the buffet line to family style service at our tables each week. We all want to have more time with each other, getting to really talk with our guests, developing relationships with new members, and catching up with old friends. So be ready to change things up on Thursday,July 13th! And yes, we will still have fried chicken! No meetings?
