Lunch Outing to mcDonaLD’s Monday, February 19th, 11:00 AM You spoke and we listened! Although we had a blast at our IHOP Breakfast trip, we found that it was a little spendy for our budgets, and the portions didn’t fit the price. This month we will be visiting Mickey Dees in Renton instead. Look forward to seeing you there!

We will all learn something new. There will be a speaker along with food and refreshments. The food will be southern soulful cuisine to fit this occasion. Park Place will have the same menu for dinner so that everyone can enjoy the same menu. Come out and help us celebrate, you wouldn’t want to miss it!
