By popular demand, we again will hold the annual Terrace Holiday Party at The Epicurean at Sterup Square, this year on Sunday, December 13, beginning at 4:30 p.m.
For those of you new to The Terrace, you'll surely enjoy the warm French country atmosphere of this café, located just 10 minutes east of the Troy city line on Route 7 in Raymertown.
Hosts Claire Lussier-Pogue and Sandy Pogue and award-winning Chef Dominique Brialy have again designed a sumptious spread of hors d'ouevres, entrees, salad and dessert for us, as you'll see below.
The price per person this year is $45, plus whatever you care to spend at the wine cash bar. (Note: One of the three entree choices carries an additional $5 charge.)
Please let us know no later than Saturday, November 21, whether you are attending. There is no need to submit payment until a week before the dinner.
A dozen Terrace residents already have responded to our earlier e-mail announcement asking for reservations, so we're off to a great start.
We hope to see everyone at The Epicurean to share the holidays.
Best wishes,
Bill & April Dowd
