Speaker’s Dinner Site
Change
In the interest of trying something
a little different, we will have our
speaker’s dinners of November 11th
and henceforward at La Cocina del
Sol Restaurant, on the lower level of
Village Green Shopping Plaza,
Commonwealth and Hydraulic
Roads, in Charlottesville. Besides
offering excellent food, La Cocina
del Sol is conveniently located on
the road to Ivy Creek.
In that Ellie and I will be in Ecuador
during the November 11th meeting,
Ruth Carmines has kindly
agreed to serve as hostess for our
dinner at La Cocina del Sol. Since
this, our first dinner at this restaurant,
may increase the usual attendance
at these dinners, I would suggest
e- mailing Ruth at
rcarmines.is@gmail.com to let her
know you are coming.
