Ethnic Dinner – April 3rd

Desert Doves (and friends/family) are invited to enjoy each others’ company and delicious dinner at Gandhi’s Cuisine of India at 5 pm on April 3. Please let us know your plans to attend by Thursday, April 1, so that we can let Gandhi management know in advance how many people to expect. To RSVP, contact Stephanie or Kara by writing to rpcvtucson at yahoo dot com. Gandhi’s is located at 150 West Fort Lowell Road (near Stone). The Tucson Weekly has this to say about Gandhi’s:  “There’s a reason Tucsonans choose this place year after year [from 2001-2009] as their favorite Indian restaurant: The food is superb!”
