Queso Diego July Meeting Announcement

The July meeting of Queso Diego will explore the wonderful world of fondue. We will have members running several stations with various types of cheese, chocolate, and broth fondues and we will rotate through the stations in groups. As we won’t have the space or capacity to have everyone make their own fondue, we have groups running several stations. Attendees who aren’t making fondue are encouraged to contribute bread and vegetables for dipping, snacks, appetizers, and beverages.

The meeting will be held at 6:30pm on Tues, July 16 at City Farmers Nursery (http://www.cityfarmersnursery.com). Map of parking and the meeting location: http://bit.ly/RtI8rX.

Nate’s Garden Grill is now open, so consider stopping by to grab a bite to eat or a beer before or after the meeting. They have a great menu of fresh, local food and an extensive draft beer list.
