JANUARY  DINING  OUT
 
Curious Goods on Bake Oven Road in Germansville was the site for eighteen AW Rotarians and guests to gather on Thursday evening, January 24, 2019. The food was excellent and the fellowship most enjoyable.
 
 
 
 
 
 President Jeanne Shipe made several announcements:  
  • Curious Goods agreed to participate again at Tempting Tastes 5, to be held on April 28.
  • Our March Dining Out will be on the 28th at Gio’s Italian Grill on Rt. 100 in Macungie.
  • AW Rotarian Barbara Kistler has been nominated for recognition at the Emmaus RC’s National Women’s Day event.
 
Photos were taken by Gary Englehardt.
