Dames doing good! 💙
We love our Volunteer Days especially when we can support Slow Food Denver 🐌.
On Saturday their annual Farm dinner was held at Chatfield Farms in Littleton featuring the amazing food of Dame Heather Morrison’s Restaurant Olivia. Two groups of Dames helped them set up for dinner and then help execute beverage service. Fun was had by all! ☺️
