Every year our brunches are a success thanks to BLFR volunteers who bring our supplies and canopies, and to those who adopt food or beverage tables for member enjoyment. Before we even look for volunteers, we need to have a lead brunch organizer, or a team, to coordinate the activities.
The flyer in the most recent Tides Newsletter explains how our bunches have been organized which means there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Organizers can follow the same format or modify it to work for them so our members can enjoy another summer of brunches.
Rich Tretten has been our brunch organizer since 2018 and will be your mentor. He will
work with the new organizer(s) to review strategies and help with brunch plans for 2026.
