Tour and Lunch
ACTIVITIESLearn more about our community by participating in tours of local organizations, businesses and non-profits. Members meet at the organization for a close-up look at how it operates. Recent tours have included Peach Street Distillers, the Nuclear Museum, Grand Junction Curbside Recycling, the Hotel Maverick and Devil’s Kitchen restaurant. Following the tour, we gather for lunch at a nearby local restaurant. Reservations are taken for a lunch and tour at the Newcomers meeting immediately before the tour. If you do not attend the meeting, you may email the coordinator to reserve a spot or to be put on a waiting list. Some locations can handle as many as 30 people, but usually groups are limited to 20 participants.
