Join Us for Progressive Dinner Night!
Come join us on January 20, 2022 for an evening of fellowship, networking and gastronomy at three outstanding local, black-owned restaurants in Minneapolis, as we celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday week, and 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 Jan. 17. 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!
