Many of the attendees have discovered what reasonably priced great breakfasts are available at noon, while others enjoyed the lunch special, or other lunch items. Not everyone in the group orders alcoholic beverages, and this is not an impediment to attending.

It is gratifying that we are continuing to have new participants attend the Pub Club. This adds a lot of interest to the meeting, as attendees get to know more about each other and make new contacts within the Club.

We now have a core membership of over 15 members. As always, we encourage all of our existing members to come out, and are delighted to have new members join the group.

We started the meeting by having all of the participants provide some background information about themselves for a couple of minutes to help break the ice. As always, the group enjoyed their brunch and interesting conversation. 

Benefits of belonging to the Pub Club

The biggest benefit of belonging to the Pub Club is that it allows our members to get to know each other better, to engage in conversation, to share their stories, and to enjoy themselves in a comfortable environment.

Now that we are meeting in person again, members can order a meal, very often the daily special, and enjoy a beer or other libation. The Pub Club often addresses the burning issues of the day in an unstructured discussion, but fortunately no one is listening.

New members have the opportunity to make new friends and enjoy a fun social gathering.
