Every month on the Saturday following our regularly scheduled meeting, members of our club are invited to have breakfast at one of our local restaurants. We may then head out for one of our ongoing projects or just head back home afterwards. We make a decision at each meeting where we are going to meet and at what time so plan on joining us each month.
