Volunteers wanted for chamber 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.

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, March 3, start- ing at 12 noon.
