Finally a group dinner for our members who enjoy plant based meals!  Come relaxed and ready to have a great night of food and conversations.

What to expect:

• We’ll meet at Blossom at 7pm sharp.
• Your host will be on hand to greet you and introduce you to others.
• The group will be randomly seated for dinner.
• They will have the menu for you.  You will be on a separate check and only be responsible for what you eat and drink.  Since several separate checks are difficult for servers there will be a 20% gratuity added to all checks.
