Mon - Fri. 8 am-5 pm Sponsored by QPD Town of Quartzsite, AZ Ladies meet for Lunch monthly A few years ago, a group of ladies getting together to "do lunch" sounded like a great idea to or- ganizer Lynda Goldberg and her friends. Well, the ladies have been gathering the 1st Tuesday of the month for lunch at various local restaurants ever since. The ladies order off the menu and share a little bit about themselves or current events. It's been a great way for newcomers to meet oth- ers. Tuesday, Nov. 5th starting at 12 noon.
