(Sunday) noon -- Bi WomenÕs Bookswap and Brunch
Boston
Bisexual Women's Network (BBWN) Book Swap and Potluck BBQ in Brockton at
EllynÕs. Yes, itÕs a mouthful, but from all accounts the swap is really worth the trip down to
the lovely South Shore. WeÕll fire up the grill and supply all the condiments.
We will have veggie burgers, some side salads, and some drinks. Just as we do
at the brunches, the idea is to bring a dish and drinks to share with the
group. Please bring any meat that you wish to grill, none will be supplied.
Bring a few books to swap with others (not required to attend the bbq) and take
home a few for your summer reading. Contact Ellyn at <nellythrustmor@comcast.net> for
directions and to let her know youÕll be attending. All bi and bi friendly women welcome.
