Thursday and Friday Lunch Offerings

 

We are on a quest to upgrade the on-campus dining experience for TAG’s Thursday and Friday lunches.  (While you are welcome to go anywhere you like for lunch, many attendees and volunteers prefer staying on campus.)  This year, we have contracted with a popular local catering company to provide a simple meal for each day.

 

Weather permitting, the lunch buffet will be served outside on the Rose Window Plaza and will have multiple serving lines for efficiency.  The tickets are $15 each and will include a protein, vegetable, salad, and dessert.    A gluten-free option will also be available, along with a water station.

 

 

NOTE: When purchasing tickets, each person in your party will need to purchase a ticket rather than buying multiple tickets under one name. (e.g. Thursday only, Friday only, or Thursday and Friday)

 

You should receive a receipt email after your purchase is complete.  If you don’t receive this email, please contact us at eddip@hotmail.com or 713-516-6359.

 

Please know that we are praying for each of you as you prepare for the gathering.  If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions, just give us a shout. ( eddip@hotmail.com  or 713-516-6359)
