Great books are inspiration for great meals

Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) has announced its book selections for next season's popular Great Books Dinner and Discussion Series. In its ninth year, the monthly evenings have become a local literary experience, comprising a reception, book discussion lead by an MSOE faculty member, followed by a chef-prepared meal that reflects the book's theme.

Great Books evenings are held 6-9 p.m. in MSOE's beautiful and historic Alumni Partnership Center, former headquarters of Blatz Brewery built in 1890 (1120 N. Broadway). The cost is $50 per program and includes handout materials and dinner (books are not included) and on-campus parking. Advanced reservations are recommended as these events sell-out quickly. Fees must be received one week prior to the event. For information, contact MSOE's Cathy Varebrook at (414) 277-4523 or varebroo@msoe.edu.
