Tidbits: Piccadilly to provide meals for Catholic High … Ruffino’s serving Friday lunch and more

Piccadilly Restaurants has signed a contract to provide meals to the students and faculty at Catholic High School. Under the agreement, Piccadilly will provide breakfast, lunch and after-school snacks for the more than 1,150 students, faculty and staff at the school. Gene Tullier, Catholic High board president, says the contract will mean lower meal costs for students. Before this, Catholic High had been doing its own food service.
