Census statistics indicate that more people from around the world are making Northern Kentucky home. In an effort to bridge cultures, Boone County Cooperative Extension Service started Tuesday Supper Club that met monthly at independent ethnic restaurants. A written evaluation completed five months after the start of the program demonstrated that all (100%) had met people they did not know prior to the club. Seventy-three percent indicated they had improved their ability to interact with others during a meal, and 74% had tried new foods. Sixty-seven percent were more aware of the importance of small business and improved their knowledge of the cultures in the region.
