It is 1979, the day of the church’s Centennial Celebration, and past parishioners have gathered to share hotdishes, bars, and stories from the last 100 years. As the women work in the kitchen, shared memories burst into life through a series of flashbacks. Travel back to 1897 and meet Vivian’s grandmother; see Karin as a newlywed cautiously navigating the politics of the kitchen; and be there in 1944 when Mavis first barreled her way through the door. The Centennial Celebration is bittersweet. Times are tough in this small farm community, and hard decisions will have to be made.

The UWRA and the Verona Senior Center are partnering on this travel opportunity. Seating is limited, so register today! 



The meal includes Asian Salad, freshly baked breads, choice of entree, Lemon Chess Pie for dessert, and coffee/tea/milk. Entree choices include:
