🍝 A Vibrant Evening in Montrose: EPAH June Dinner Recap! 🥂✨
What an incredible turnout we had this past Tuesday for our EPAH June Dinner & Meeting! We returned to one of our absolute favorite neighborhood spots, The Montrose Country Club, and the evening did not disappoint.

We kicked off the night with a lively happy hour, catching up with friends old and new while enjoying some fantastic featured drinks. Following the social hour, we were treated to a phenomenal Italian buffet custom-crafted by their chef—from the Chicken Piccata and award-winning sausage & peppers to that delicious Lemon Berry Cheesecake for dessert!
