Below: This was a special dinner invitation which involved listening to a speech. There was no pressure to buy anything and it was at no cost on this date. The food was very good. Shown below is the appetizer shrimp and salads. For some reason, Karen Duquette did not photograph the Filet Mignon that they ate, but it was tender and very delicious.
