Harvard Club of Georgia

Sunday Supper - August 13 (6-9PM)

With Guest: Piper G. Huguley - Author

Sunday Suppers are casual gatherings where new ideas and stimulating conversation are the main fare. The guest speaker leads an informal discussion based on their work or topic of interest. Reservations are open to current Harvard Club of Georgia members and their guests on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendance is limited to 12 people so that the conversation is more personal and happens around the dinner table.

The dinners are Pot-luck, so please bring a dish that you like that you can share. The August dinner location will be at the home of Cathy Huyghe. We will have 12 club members (in addition to the guest speaker).

You must be fully immunized against Covid to attend.
