With too many people unable to attend the original February event we reset the event to an April date.
This way we can also celebrate the fact that TAX DAY is OVER at the same time!
The event will kick off at 6:30 PM and will be held at the Hilton Houston Southwest, Savoy at the Southwest Freeway (just south of Hillcroft).
The menu is grilled salmon (the default entre) served with Garden salad, Chef's selection of seasonal vegetables, Chef's selection of an appropriate starch, warm rolls with whipped butter and a dessert. For those who do not wish the salmon an entre of Chicken Basil (chicken breast topped with a light basil cream sauce) is available by request. Any entre substitutions must be made known by Tuesday, April 13th.
