The Mendez Windmeyer Hall Family will provide a main food entree as well as music and fellowship. There is NO CHARGE for the luncheon. ** Alcohol is not allowed on premises ** If possible, we ask that you RSVP your attendance at info@diannhall.com and if you wish to bring a potluck dish to share with everyone.
