An enjoyable change of venue

Our last club meeting was held at Caravella's Restaurant located at 11295 Jefferson Ave.   All the attending members enjoyed the change of venue and voted to also have our October 3rd club meeting at Caravella's.

Location information is  reprinted below:
Caravella's store front is in the midst of remodeling, and there is no sign on the building for the restaurant.  The restaurant is behind the Red Barn (gas station) on the corner of Winston Avenue and Jefferson Avenue (between J. Clyde Morris and Harpersville).  The shopping center is on the left hand side, if you are heading in the direction of the Patrick Henry Mall.
