 It’s September already, time to soak up the last days of summer and enjoy our beautiful weather! Our BHNC year is already off to a wonderful start, and I hope you’ve had a chance to join in on some of the activities—we have so many fun options! The easiest way to get to know one another is to share an activity together, and there is something for everyone. Please check out our “Monthly Activities” list in the newsletter and our website at mybhnc.org.

One group that’s especially easy to drop into is Coffee with Friends. It meets every second Tuesday of the month at 10:30am, at Andersen Bakery in the Burlingame Plaza, 1849 El Camino Real. Whether you are brand new or have been with the club for years, Andersen Bakery is a perfect spot to connect, learn more about the club, and just enjoy good company. Special thanks to activity leads Dawn Jungwirth and Mary Kay Tannebring, for the warmth and hospitality they bring to Coffee with Friends. Don’t miss the next gathering!

Warmly,

Linda Citron

President, BHNC
