Summer 2022 Potlucks
TRADITIONAL POTLUCK DINNERS
The BPIA traditionally hosts activities and potluck dinners at the BPIA Community Hall in June, July and August. Activities are open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring families and visiting guests, and a dish to share for eight to ten people. Some dinners include social time with no program, others include a presentation or activity. Can’t bring a dish to share? Join us anyway! We value your company.
Potlucks begin at 6:00 pm, so don’t be late!
