The Italian American Heritage Club of Hunterdon County will hold its monthly meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 15, at the Grand Colonial Restaurant in Hampton, at 6:45 p.m. Joseph DeFranco is the author of "Growing Up in the Butcher Shop" which is a delightful narrative about his great love for family, friends, Italian heritage and food.

DeFranco shows us how he is keeping old customs alive and telling young people how life was in the sixties in a family butcher shop which is still in business today. To make a reservation for the buffet ($29 per person) and to learn more about the club, call Rose DeSantis at 908-310 9844 or email [email protected]. All are welcome.
