Are you Hungry?

Hams are notorious for their eating prowess!  If you want to
join in, please come hungry for:

** Breakfast **

- Sundays 7:00 AM - Ridge Restaurant, Bucktown
- Second Tuesday of the month 9:00 AM - Pottstown Diner, Pottstown.

** Lunch **

You can usually find a few of us having lunch in the cozy St.
Peter's Bakery midweek (Wed - Friday around 11:45AM) next to 
French Creek. Great food and one of the best French Baguettes 
outside of France!

BTW: Cell phones don't usually get reception there...
