It’s one of the Dayton International Peace Museum’s most delicious annual fundraisers. Featuring donated cold soups like Gazpacho, Vichyssoise and Ginger Carrot Bisque and freshly baked bread donated by Ashley’s Pastry Shop of Oakwood, they even promise one of the offerings will be vegan.

Over lunch enjoy a very special speaker, Sarina Tacovic, a Centerville High junior, born in Bosnia during the seige of 1992. She’s just returned from a People to People trip to Europe where she served as a student Ambassador. She’ll be sharing her experience guiding students through the Netherlands, Belgium, France and England.

The luncheon takes place Friday, July 30th from 11:30am – 1pm at the Christ Episcopal Church Fellowship Hall located at 20 West First Street, downtown Dayton. There will be door Prizes and everyone takes home an antique Kuntz bowl from the old Kuntz cafeteria. Tickets are $20 payable upon reservations before July 28th. Call the Museum at 227-3223 to reserve.
