Diners at the Gilespie House in Westport enjoyed a Mexican Fiesta Friday April 8th compliments of RN&N. On the menu was virgin margaritas, organic baby arugula and frise salad, three types of enchiladas and three different cakes served with whipped cream. We are scheduled to provide dinner again this Tuesday April 19th. This will be Italian Night. Anyone interested in helping, please contact Erika DeSantis ( (203)253-0833).
The first ever RN&N Star Neighbor trophy is to be awarded to… (drum roll please) Bud McQuade. Mr. McQuade has been beautifying Redding for years by planting literally thousands of daffodils in the field adjacent to his Cross Highway home. We will soon confirm a date in May, when the flowers are in full bloom, to confer this award.
