Come by and say hello to fellow BMAV members who will be spreading the word about BMAV at a table during the market. Do some shopping and tell everyone how much you enjoy membership or volunteering!

New members as well as longtime members are invited to meet, greet, and socialize over light refreshments at member Lynn Barclay‘s home. Given the current temperature forecast for the day of the event -- 90 or above -- the social will be held inside Lynn‘s air conditioned house. RSVP required and attendance limited.

Join in to discuss what you are working on or perhaps be encouraged to start a project. Open to all BMAV members. The first week of the month we meet at the Battery Park Clubhouse.
