Networking Luncheon at Donkeys
What a fun and exciting luncheon! We thank Jon and Michel Turner for hosting us, serving delicious BBQ, baked beans, and potato salad, which is really more like a potato casserole, it was delicious! We also got to hear some exciting news, straight from the horse’s mouth so to speak - the new, 8200 square foot Donkeys Restaurant plans are 80% complete, and will be built behind the new Publix. It will be 2-story, include a banquet room for events like our luncheons, will have indoor and outdoor seating, and plenty of parking. Plans are to also have a pick-up drive through window. Construction hopefully will be completed in about a year or so. Nothing is ever set in stone when it comes to construction, especially these days. Jon and Michel are also in the process of remodeling the old Family Coastal restaurant building to open an Italian restaurant serving true Italian brick oven baked pizza, named Asini’s Woodfired Grill, and yes you may have guessed it means Donkeys in Italian. We look forward to the opening! More here
