#106 Hanover (7600)

John Fernandez speaks on the sweet success of the dessert business while President Judson nods in agreement

Members Becky & Mike are dwarfed by the almost 6' club banner


There are not many dinner clubs in Virginia, but Hanover is one.  Meeting at the Hill City Chop House, I have enjoyed the food here before.  The members were quick to welcome me and share their history.  Now I jokingly told the group that serving Chicken and green beans would be a deduction, but the meal over all was very good especially the potatoes.

The speaker was John Fernandez, CEO of Daystar Desserts maker of "The World's Best Cheesecake" and while I was not familiar with this product, was disappointed that he did not bring samples.  He assured the club if invited back he would most certainly bring samples.  John is a self made inspiration and was the Richmond Business Leader of the Year for 2010.  He definitely needs to join this club and they all agreed.
The clubs keeps things fun by visiting different sites for meetings including an upcoming visit to a winery and to a civil war museum.

Dinner $16
