Good food. Great company. Always a reason to gather.

One other change I especially recommend: don’t say “every second Sunday” if you’re going to have Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and other special dates that don’t always fall on that schedule. “Second Sundays and select special dates throughout the year” gives you much more flexibility and prevents the website from contradicting the event calendar.
