[Central-MD-Chapter] Friends Annual Meeting

Fri Oct 17 18:49:26 UTC 2025

Hello Brenda,

Food for lunch is brought in, and we all eat at tables in the meeting room. Lunch is usually cold sandwiches, cheese and crackers, raw veggies, cake, etc. Nothing that needs to be heated. The food is nice, and the fellowship is nicer. I hope you are able to come.

Melissa

I haven't been to one of these things at the library since 2015, and that was something on Siri.  How can there be lunch at a library? I've never heard of a library with a dining room before, but maybe libraries can have places to eat in their buildings.

I'm tempted to do it in person.  Isn't there going to be lunch or did I confuse this with some other message?
