Our meetings are normally held from 1 to 4 p.m., on the fourth Saturday of each month, at Robb & Stucky in Bonita Springs.
This is just north of the Promenade Mall on U.S. 41
We have a networking luncheon at 11:15 a.m. prior to each meeting at the Promenade Mall on U.S. 41 in Bonita Springs.
Luncheon orders to be taken by 11:30 a.m. for those who wish to join us.
We are no longer meeting at the Silver Spoon - we have moved our luncheon to Bennigan's next door.
(Turn left into the Promenade Mall parking lot, then make an immediate right to get back to Bennigan's.)
If you're coming via
I-75: Take the Bonita Beach Road exit and head west to U.S. 41, then
make a right (north). The Promenade will be on the west (left) side
of the road. There's a signal light there.
Robb & Stucky is about 1 1/2 miles north on the (east) right
side of U.S. 41. (Note: There are two Robb & Stucky's on the East
side. Our meeting is held in the Community Room in the second
building further North. The room itself is toward the back of the
furniture store and then to the left. You will pass by the coffee
and cookie area, then to your right.)
