The Mermaid Society of San Marcos hosted the Cottage Kitchen luncheon Wednesday, Aug. 7, at the Charles S. Cock House Museum. The menu included a summer salad with grilled chicken, strawberries, pecans and a vinaigrette dressing along with a baguette slice and a strawberry-topped chocolate cupcake. The Heritage Association of San Marcos is a nonprofit organization that holds Cottage Kitchen luncheons at select times throughout the year, each time hosted by a different organization within the community. The meal is $10 a person and proceeds go toward HASM preservation projects. Top, Mermaids Mia Reyes and July Holbrook prepare summer salad plates for a packed Cottage Kitchen luncheon.
