Brown bag lunches generate camaraderie! January 8 was the beginning of a scheduled Brown Bag Lunch segment in the middle of our line-up of Special Interest Group meetings. Members gathered around big tables and visited; it was fun. At the Library Station, having Panera Bread next door was a plus for some of us, and others brought their own lunches and some things to share.

We will continue the schedule: 10:00 a.m. SIG, 11:30 a.m. Brown Bag Lunch, 12:15 p.m. SIG, and 2:00 p.m. SIG on the second and fourth Saturdays. Come get an education and have fun doing it!
