Learning and Connection at the Citrus County ILS Lunch Outing

Posted on August 28, 2025 by CIL Podcast Team

The Citrus County ILS group enjoyed a delicious lunch outing at Chili’s! This trip was a great opportunity to practice valuable community and restaurant skills. Members worked on ordering their own meals, using a friendly conversational tone that was respectful to those around them, and learning how to pay their bill—including the importance of adding a tip and how to calculate it.

The day was made even more special as we turned it into a cheerful farewell party for one of our members who will soon be moving away. It was a wonderful mix of learning, laughter, and warm goodbyes!
