MEETINGS.....

Under ordinary circumstances, BCREA meets on the first Thursday of each month from October through May at Deicke Auditorium, 5701 Cypress Road in Plantation. Meetings begin at 11:45 AM and include a potluck lunch. Everyone attending is asked to bring a dish to share.

Currently, BCREA meetings are being held at the Jim Ward Community Center, 301 NW 46 Avenue, Plantation, because Deicke has been taken over by the Helen Hoffman Library because that building is being renovated. Meetings begin at 12:00 pm. We have recently resumed potluck luncheons - with picnic-style fare. Drinks are provided.

During the pandemic, we met via Zoom. The good part of this was that members who live anywhere in the world were able to attend. We tried to come up with a way to do a hybrid in-person plus Zoom so those members could continue to be involved but we were unable to accomplish this..
