History @ Noon: Lunchtime Journeys Through the Past:

Each month, we'll explore a different theme, period, or historical event, uncovering the stories that have shaped our world. Whether it's a deep dive into local history, the lives of historical figures, or pivotal moments in global history, you’ll be transported through time while sharing a meal with others. 

This informal gathering is perfect for those who enjoy learning in a welcoming and casual atmosphere. All are welcome – no prior history knowledge required. Just bring your lunch, your curiosity, and a desire to connect!
