On June 21, 2012, Cabbagetown’s own Village Pizza hosted our soiree. Denise, the new chef, treated us to a variety of different pizzas, all of which were absolutely delicious. She’s got some awesome new recipes and the pizza is to-die-for. They also have patio seating outside and a brand new remodeled inside. Come check out the new Village Pizza.
We had eighteen guests throughout the evening including four brand new guests. Chad Reilly, curator of the Cube Gallery, joined us and let us in on some exciting things happening at Cube Gallery. Check out the latest at www.thecubegallery.com. Elena Sanchez and Alex Lassiter also attended.
