Thats right, the March club dinner will be held on Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 7pm at Nostrana.

Eater PDX describes Nostrana as:

"Intensely regional Italian food, wood-fired oven pizza, and nothing on the entire menu for more than $20 make Cathy Whims (once of Genoa) the most renowned woman chef in … Portland. A barrel vaulted exposed wood ceiling, tons of windows, and just enough chatter to brighten things up make Nostrana the most renowned casual-enough place in town."

So why not join your local BMW friends to enjoy a wonderful dinner.
