Each year, our February luncheon is dedicated to hearing the “State of the Diocese” from our Bishop. This event is planned for months in advance and usually has well over 500 attendees. Board members solicit sponsorships to help keep the individual prices at the same level as the other monthly luncheons and also to assist in the operations of the First Friday Club of Cleveland throughout the year.
