Fellow Columbia Alumni and Friends,

Please join us on February 8th at Rosemary & Thyme Restaurant on Orange Avenue in Sarasota at noon for another gourmet lunch presented by owner and food expert, George Armstrong. George will share his experience owning and managing a fine dining restaurant during the Covid-19 pandemic, and present his vision of the future for the Sarasota restaurant scene going forward.

Top restaurants are one of the hallmarks of the Sarasota/Manatee community, representing places to share food and friendship while enjoying the bounty the Suncoast has to offer. The restaurant industry is also one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, by shifting work patterns, and perhaps permanent structural change as we hope for a post pandemic “new normal.” Please join us, and learn from one of the CU Alumni’s biggest supporters at our favorite downtown restaurant.

A Vegetarian option will be available. Please email me with your requests. Weather permitting, we will dine outdoors.
