&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thursday, July 10, 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 27px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where: Quilchena Park&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;– there will be lots of us so head to the crowd.&lt;/p&gt;

We’ll choose a restaurant, let you know where and when, and you let us know if you’re available to join and we’ll make the reservation. Multiple tables for 6, and we’ll mix up the seating for each event. Not only will you eat great food, you’ll make great friends. If the numbers permit, we may even grab a private room, and all sit together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
