Club News, This Week's Event Calendar: Valentine's Day Brunch & More
Happy Monday! If you’re feeling a bit groggy this morning, you’re not alone. But we’ll shake it off quickly and get back into the swing of things because our event calendar is packed once again this week.
Also, in case it isn't obvious, we kind of stumbled into a bit of an extended social media break recently. And to be honest, we’re not in a big hurry to start scrolling and posting regularly again, so this is definitely the best place to keep up with all our goings on for now.
On that note:
Our hours this week:
Monday Feb. 9: 7am-8pm
Tuesday Feb. 10: 7am-8pm
Wednesday Feb. 11: 7am-8pm
Thursday Feb. 12: 7am-6pm
Friday Feb, 13: 7am-8pm
Saturday Feb. 14: 9am-4pm
Sunday Feb. 15: Closed

- Strawberries and cream baked french toast (VEG)
- Roasted beet and brie quiche (VEG, GF)
- Chicken and waffles (GF)
