Out of this world Catering
Lawry's Catered the YPO 49ers Chapter Meeting in March of 2013 and really "WOWed" the guests with the signature presentation and creativity, in an astronomy-style menu.
The event began with tours of the Observatory. It was then followed by Dr. Freedman's lecture that was located in Carnegie's Auditorium...
