Our upcoming Branch meeting on March 24 promises to be a very special experience.  We will gather at Spelman College, one of Atlanta’s premier women’s colleges, and hear from Dr. Geneva Baxter, Associate Dean of Spelman (and an Atlanta Branch member) about the history of Spelman College.  The meeting will be held in the Suites Dining Room beginning at 11 AM.

Lunch will follow the program, and features a “Salad Sensation” buffet featuring chicken, tuna, garden pasta, potato and tossed salads, assorted breads, beverage and dessert.  The cost is $13.00.
