About the Ladies Only Luncheon

The Ladies Only Luncheon is an Erie tradition that supports services for children at Barber National Institute's Elizabeth Lee Black School. This event is held the Saturday before Thanksgiving to help launch the holiday season with socializing, a festive lunch, and the chance to take home a bountiful gift basket or other prizes. This is a special occasion where you can get dressed up and enjoy the day in style!
