Company Summary

Gastronome Gander's Gatherings is a new small business aimed at providing social functions to professional single adults, our members in the greater Gourmandeville area. The events tend to be focused around food. The events are held in other business establishments and may be indoors or out depending on the type of event. The events may range from sit-down dinners, to wine tastings, to cooking classes, and may include trips. One major difference between Gastronome Gander's Gatherings and other singles groups is that ours is a social group, with no match-making or other related dating pressures.

Gastronome Gander's Gatherings was started near the end of last year and expects to kick off events in early Year 1 and to have three events per month by the end of this fiscal year. Trencherman Gander (President) is college educated with multiple degrees, has previously operated a consulting business, has lived in Gourmandeville for two years, and has a good knowledge of food, wine, cooking, restaurants and travel.
