Meet with Legislators! 

We will not provide lunch as most groups will be on different schedules so will need to eat at different times. Easiest is to eat inside the Capitol building. There are cafeterias on the top floor (6th Floor) of the capitol and in the basement. The food is better at the basement cafeteria.
