Zoom meetings with remote speakers are every 2nd Wednesday those same months, 9-10am. Here are the details for in-person meetings you will need in order to participate:

1. In person breakfast meetings will usually not be broadcast on Zoom, so you will need to attend in person to hear the speaker.

2. Our breakfast meetings are held at the Bird Key Yacht Club (BKYC), 301 Bird Key Drive, Bird Key, FL, through this March*, after which the club will be closed for renovations. When we resume in November 2025 it we be at a new venue TBD.

3. Cost will be $35 per person. Pay in Eventbrite at the link provided to register for each month's meeting.

4. Prior to the event, you will receive an invitation email including a link you will need to click to register for the event. It will be simple, but YOU MUST REGISTER in advance (by the deadline) so we may give BKYC the headcount for breakfast. Meals will be an assortment of hot and cold drinks, pastries and bread, eggs, bacon, potatoes and fruit.

4. Timing of each meeting
--plan to arrive between 8:00 and 8:15am in time to pay for the meeting, pick a seat and chat.
