1st Meeting in 2026 is Thursday, January 8th

A quick reminder about our January meeting this coming Thursday, January 8, from 6:30--9:00 p.m., in the Rotary Room of the Bennington Free Library (upstairs). The library is located at 101 Silver Street in Bennington, and on-street parking is available.

This month's meeting will feature a talk by John Letourneau: "Winter: A Time to relax and stress out!". In addition, Mike Feranandez from the Vermont Veterans Home Farm Project will be joining us, to meet and greet folks and talk a bit about the project he is working on and how bees
fit into their plan. Please find the agenda packet attached.

The first half-hour of the meeting will be a potluck dinner: while it's not required that you bring anything, we encourage you to bring a dish to share with the group, as well as a cup, flatware and a plate/bowl for yourself, if possible, to cut down on waste (there is a kitchen sink where you can wash your dishes before bringing them home). At the conclusion of the meeting, there will be a raffle of donated items: should you wish to donate raffle items, please bring them (items need not be directly related to honeybees or beekeeping). Raffle tickets will be sold during the potluck dinner ($2 each or $10 for 6), and during the raffle, stubs will be drawn until all items have been claimed. Any 2026 dues-paid Club member who brings one or more items to donate to the raffle will be given one free raffle ticket.

While the potluck begins at 6:30, the Library building's doors will be locked at 7 pm. If you intend to arrive after 7, you will need to notify someone who is at the meeting to come downstairs and let you in.

Best Regards,
Bennington Beekeepers' Club
