BCBC Monthly Club meeting Thursday, April 10th
A quick reminder about our April meeting on Thursday, April 10, 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 coincide with the final day of our 2025 Short Course for beginning beekeepers, with the topic being a series of brief 'lightning talks' about . Though we encourage in-person attendance, you can attend this meeting remotely via Microsoft Teams if you like. To do so, please use this link: https://bit.ly/BennBee_Jan2025_Remote . For the in-person attendees, 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 dues-paying 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.A full agenda packet, including timely announcements and Club business, will be provided next week when you receive your meeting reminder.
