One of the many social happenings at UCC is a group called 9 to Dine.  This project brings together 9 people who get together for “pot luck” meals shared at each of their homes throughout the year.  Many friendships are formed with these random groupings of people.  Some groups even have reunions even though they have moved on to new groups over the years.  This group formed in 2006 and still manage to get together once a year to catch up and socialize.  Pictured here are Ed and Doris Srsen, Julie Maxson, Elizabeth Olson, Bob Kahn, Sue Mieska, Liz Hankins, Garda Kahn and Jerry Hankins.
