As the ONMM team was plodding their way through the long Maine winter, they decided to start a recurring gathering off-site to combat the winter blues together. Their activity of choice for sharing time outside of work? Eating! A dinner get-together to share food and friendship was formed. Meals are based on a creative theme ranging from the conventional (“cultural potpourri”) to the iconic (“mud season”). Everyone brings a dish, and before the gathering breaks up they schedule another time to congregate. The spread has been described as “phenomenal” and the dinner event has become so popular that other members of the Maine-Dartmouth community have begged to join the fun. Winter may be finally over, but the ONMM group can always find an excuse to share a meal – “good food, good times, and good friends help make life better.”
