THANK YOU to everyone who purchased tickets and donated--your contributions greatly support After Hours' mission of putting "service about self."⚙️ Thank you to the comedy show committee members for their hard work, and thank you to Lucky's and Rotarian Ted Lescher for being a gracious and outstanding host!

What's New at Lunch?
RRC Goes Family Style Beginning July 13
Close your eyes and think of the last family style dinner you attended. Do you see platters of food being passed around, smell the aroma of the food, hear the easy conversation around the table, laughing and talking together, and feel the warmth of fellowship? That's the new lunch time vibe RRC is seeking as we move from the buffet line to family style service at our tables each week. We all want to have more time with each other, getting to really talk with our guests, developing relationships with new members, and catching up with old friends. So be ready to change things up on Thursday,July 13th! And yes, we will still have fried chicken! No meetings? Buy PJ's with the free time
