BCN ACTIVITY GROUPS
BCN has a “No Present-Day Politics Discussions Policy” at all Activities & Events.
All members are welcome to attend any activity or event anytime throughout the year if fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID. There are several activities that have size limitations. To participate, check the Newsletter, monthly calendar and/or contact the activity leader.
Book Clubs
There are six book clubs, each meeting monthly on various days, in person or remotely. Members generally take turns hosting and leading the discussions. A different location can be selected, depending on the preferences of a particular book club. A “gate keeper” guides a potential member to an open book club or places her name on a waiting list. A new book club will be initiated, when necessary, provided a leader is available. To participate, contact –

Two teams compete by having the “spymaster” or captain give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. The other players attempt to guess their team’s word(s) and not the words of the opposing team. It’s simple to explain, easy to understand, and fun to play. To participate, contact
