Java Guild meets every Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. to about 12:30 – 1:00 p.m. Lunch occurs at 12:00 noon at the Belrock Banquet Hall. If you haven’t come out as yet, or if you've come out before but have been away for a bit, please join us. The friendship is always warm, the conversations lively, and the lunches – always a surprise but – always delicious. At this past meeting, W. Brother Trevor Sykes informed us of the Sudbury Shrine Club's annual Vidalia Onion campaign. The onions will be in mid-May. The cut-off date for ordering is April 5th.
