This year\u2019s community building event\u00a0provided a more intimate feel with reduced capacity,\u00a0while still providing a healthy three-course meal, which\u00a0included gluten-free and vegan options. For some it was\u00a0a new opportunity to meet other Knights and learn more\u00a0about nourishing food options, while others enjoyed a\u00a0familiar tradition that\u2019s been missing from the campus\u00a0community for nearly two years.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI love the chance to be able to come together, make friends and be around something we all enjoy \u2014 food.\u201d<\/p>\n<footer
