PATIO FEATURES
Watch for an array of fresh entrée salads that will be added to
our daily fresh sheet for the summer – great for the patio. Ask
Crystal about our house-made Iced Coffee and Iced Tea or our
new Baby Champagnes.
WE MAKE GREAT SOUP!
All of our soups are made from scratch and are vegetarian based
(unless there is meat mentioned in the title) and you can now
take it home to enjoy. $ 5.95 Litre

“Universities exist for discovery and exchange of ideas. Food, drink and convivial surroundings foster the exchange of ideas, and
for this reason a faculty club supports and advances the university mission.”
…President Peter MacKinnon quoting Stephan Leacock

CLUB NOTES:
A CLUB TO VISIT
London, England
The William Goodenough Club
in London, England is situated
in the beautiful Bloomsbury
district and is comprised of
five Georgian townhouses in
a peaceful, yet central garden
square. The Goodenough
Club has been at the centre of the development of “Cultural
Bloosmbury” www.culturalbloomsbury.org - a collaboration of
partners striving to bring together the academic, the cultural and
the commercial sectors to work in harmony with local government
to raise awareness of Bloomsbury as an exciting area to visit and
in which to live and work. Partners include the British Library,
the Dickens Museum, the School of Advanced Study and Eurostar
(the high speed trains that travel through the channel tunnel and
arrive in Paris and Brussels within two hours).
For more information see www.club.goodenough.ac.uk
Noelle Vickers, Manager, invites all of you to visit and to make the
Goodenough Club your home away from home in London.
We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Pamela Johnson
to our Kitchen Team. Pamela is our resident baker and she looks
after all the daily cold side preparation.
Welcome Pam!
NEW! LUNCH ON THE RUN!
Ask us about our new service, Lunch on the Run. We provide the
container – you browse the buffets for your lunch. Then, you can
take it back to the office, to the Bowl for a picnic or wherever you
like. Or if you just want some homemade soup – we can make
it happen!
