Ready to escape? It’s time to put the cold, snowy start of 2026 in the rear-view mirror and enjoy a warm brunch-inspired meal prepared by our own chef Rick Strickhart at the Benevolent Society’s first spring luncheon on Tuesday, March 10th. As always, lunch will be served at noon, so arrive in time to get seated and comfortable.
Chef Rick will also be entertaining and educating us with a presentation, beginning at 1:00 pm, that reflects on his travels last year in Korea and Japan. Along with his spectacular photographs, he will discuss topics which include Sumo, Geisha, Shintoism and Korean Costco.
Suggested donation for the luncheon and program is $5 per person, plus a nonperishable food item for our food bank or a package of disposable diapers for our diaper bank. If you plan to join us at the luncheon, please call the FCCOL office (860) 434-8686 by Friday, March 6th to make a reservation.
