Sorority Sisters Night Out

We held our last Omega Chapter meeting at the Main Street Market Cafe which is nestled in the oldest neighborhood in Vicksburg.  The 1840 building with brick floors has a collection of odd and end tables and chairs adding to the unique atmosphere. It's own by a family, the Mother, Betty, daughter, Sally and son-in-law, Chris, who is the star of the show cooking up mouth watering meals to enjoy with a southern twist.  The menu changes daily to keep things interesting.  Chris also serves up creative Cajun cooking as well. 

Sally welcomed all of us with her southern charm and we all enjoyed a delicious meal together until we all meet again in September.  Wishing all Sorority Sisters a very Happy Summer!
