BIL Breakfast Club

Five strangers with nothing in common, except each other. - The Breakfast Club

 

The main event starts at 10 a.m., and beforehand people will be having breakfast at restaurants nearby. Each of the restaurants will have a different topic. Pick a topic you are interested in, go to the restaurant, have breakfast with other people who want to talk about the subject. The breakfasts start at 8 a.m.

 

The goal is to meet new people with similar interests. Try not to sit only with people you know.

 

If you are planning on going to a breakfast, make sure to put your name on the Breakfast Club List for that topic and day.
