MOH is a weekend offered to local families whose Child is undergoing Cancer treatment from the Hospitals of UNC, Duke and ECU.

When you have lunch and your beer is the healthiest item on your menu!!!
I typically ask friends what they have for lunch and truly I get a lot of variations! Some take their lunch due to diets or food issues, some order right off the menu and describe them as “generous” portions! (And they wonder why they are soooo sleepy!)
