Join Us for Progressive Dinner Night II! 
 
Come join us on May 18, 2022 for an evening of fellowship, networking and gastronomy at three outstanding local, black-owned restaurants in Minneapolis, as we support our area’s Black entrepreneurs! This event is a collaboration between the Rotary Club of Edina and the North Minneapolis Rotary Club, and is open to members from both clubs, as well as family and guests. 
 
Cost is $75/person, which includes three courses (appetizer, entree and dessert), a special cocktail at Pimento, and all non-alcoholic beverages.  Reservations are required and non-refundable as of May 16.  Maximum attendance is 40 people, and all are welcome! Please invite a friend, colleague or Black business leader who you know to increase the networking portion of the event! Members and guests may register here: https://edinarotary.org/event/progressive-dinner-ii/
