International Women's Group: cooking, eating, & laughing

This world is rich and varied in cultures, language, music, customs and of course food. We invite you to join us as we explore our commonalities and differences. Meals will always have halal and vegetarian options. If there are other dietary restrictions, we will try to accommodate them. The goal is to find friendship and joy in discovery. We meet on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 11 am to 2 pm.  If you need more information, please contact Nancy Paul at nancy.lee.paul@gmail.com or Marion Paxton at mpaxton@isionline.org

​We will return about 12 pm noon and drop you at your apartment with your groceries.
To get a ride, please sign up by emailing Jacob Jasin at jacob.jasin@ruf.org  by Thursday before the trip on the following day.
