For the first time in the history of this group, we've opted to forgo our annual summer break and continue meeting because really, who wouldn't love a monthly fellowship of ladies who wine and dine well?
And these ladies want to make sure this weekend that fathers are remembered and honored everywhere.
In that spirit we're serving some fun but delicious food that we think dads would love and appreciate, even going as far as serving beer to this wine-loving crowd. From chicken wings to root beer floats, we toast you dads and wish you a blessed Father's Day.
