Dogwood Luncheon in Mechanicsville, VA

Dogwood Luncheon Rally – 23 August 2025

 

Hello Dogwood! Hey, we have moved the July Luncheon Rally to August and from Fredericksburg to Mechanicsville (Va).  Specifically, the luncheon will be held on Saturday, 23 August, at the VFW Lodge in Mechanicsville – we have been there before and always enjoyed the setting.  Plan to arrive at 12:30pm with lunch at 1:00pm.  Mark your calendars!  Cost of the meal will be $22 each to include dinner (lasagna), drinks (non-alcoholic), salad, bread, dessert and gratuity.  We will need a head-count by 7 August.  The cash bar will be open for beer. 

 

Please fill out the registration form attached and send it with payment to Jean Herbert. Also, please follow-up with an email just to be sure.  

 

Last year’s luncheon was quite a success with 44 folks showing up.  We are hoping this year will be just as good.  And we hope to see you there!
