*CLUB POLICY REGARDING RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENT FOR CLUB EVENTS
As both our club membership and the number of club events continue to grow, we find it necessary to make changes that will enable us to operate more efficiently and better serve the membership.
We must require that all dinners, bus trips and other events be paid for by the announced cut off date unless other arrangements have been made. Anyone requesting to attend an event after the cut off date will be put on a waiting list; late request MUST be accompanied by a check for the cost of the event plus $1 for handling and costs; the payment minus the $1 charge will be refunded should no spot be available for the event.
We regret that any payments made for reservations which are canceled for any reason after the cut off date cannot be refunded unless there is a person available on the waiting list. The person canceling his/her reservations may arrange for a substitute to attend in his/her place but any such arrangements shall be between the parties.

For the past five years, we have been meeting at Spruce Hill Lunch for their first of the month vegetarian/vegan buffet lunch. Not only have owners Deb and John Havlik been consistenly providing healthy and tasty food to vegetarians/vegans in south central Pennslyvnia's only completely vegetarian restaurant but they have also in their gracious and friendly way introduced non-vegetarians to a whole new way of eating.
When they called to inform us of their closing at the end of August, they thanked us for our patronage and for helping spread the healthy message of vegetarianism. We thank them for providing us and the area with good healthy food and for sharing their warm and generous personalities with us. We wish them the best in their next venture.
Goodbye to
Spruce Hill Lunch
