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.
