Inviting the ladies and significant others for male members to a BNR social hour.

Our intrepid Club Service group has set up a tour of KGET, Channel 17 for November 19.  

The station needs to know how many folks will be there.  Plus we need a count for food.  Please RSVP and let us know if you'll be attending.  

It's FALL Y'ALL! Time to roll up our sleeves and build some Thanksgiving baskets for families in North Bakersfield! Before, we talk about volunteering, let me first THANK each and every one of you who has donated to get us to the 350 basket goal! If you haven't already donated, reach out to Patrick. I believe the opportunity still exists to get us to our mark.
