East Bay Chapter Past Monthly Meeting

Program Description

Out with the old, in with the new, ring-a-ding-ding.

Yes, it’s that time again—so join us for a fun-packed evening where Beau will highlight the Society’s past year's accomplishments and coming year's plans.

Also, meet your new leaders, honor our volunteers, and—best of all—PARTY, PARTY, PARTY.
