Sun, Dec 7 · 10:00 AM MST
Sunday MASS Brunch at Panera
Panera Bread, 2410 N Reserve St, Missoula, MT, US
Panera Bread has reasonably priced breakfast and lunch dining options. They do not have wait staff, so place your order at the counter as you enter. You may then take your drinks to the dining room. Panera staff will bring you anything prepared in the kitchen. The room has a number of 4-top tables, so we won't be all sitting at a large table, but feel free to play "musical chairs" with fellow MASS members.

RSVPs are not required, but if you do, we'll be looking for you. (And it's polite.)

Road Crew
Wildwood Brewery, 93 North #4018, Stevensville, MT, US
SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH

Join the Bitterroot MASS people for good beer, good food, and good conversation.

The brewery serves wood-fired pizzas and popcorn, and our people often bring snacks to share.

For those who are new, and don't recognize us, we'll display our blue, tan, and white logo.

If weather permits, we will be outdoors on the patio or at picnic tables on the lawn. You might want to bring a lawn chair, just in case.

If the weather is inhospitable, look for us inside.

Times are approximate. The brewery is open 4:00 to 8:00. Come and go as you please.

RSVPs are not required, but if you do, we'll be looking for you.

119 W Main St, Missoula, MT, US
Third Thursday of every month.

We meet at The Headwaters Foundation, 119 West Main Street. We will be in the Blackfoot Room on the first floor, near the door.

The discussions are meant to be enjoyable and informative. Attendance is not mandatory; you are welcome to attend when you like and miss should you so choose. We have no restrictions or requirements on the books chosen, we only hope that the members enjoy the selections.

The discussion leader will provide treats, so please RSVP if you plan to attend, so that we know how many treats and how many chairs to set up.

For further information, or to express interest, contact Bob Campbell at bobcampbell@secularmissoula.org

Solstice Bonfire Celebration
4175 Rattlesnake Dr, Missoula, MT, US
Time to whip together your favorite potluck creation and share it with your fellow MASS member! This has traditionally been the most popular of our events, so if you have never attended, come and see what it is all about!

Even though the 20th is not actually winter solstice (only one day off), it is close enough for a good time! We will be having a bonfire, so feel free to take your wine outside and enjoy the winter sky around a roaring fire!

Please note that the only alcohol allowed on premises is that sold by the winery. You are welcome to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages. The food will be pot-luck, so dust off your favorite recipe to share..

This may be the last time for this event. Connie and Andy, owners, have listed the property for sale. Hopefully the new owners will be amenable to our tradition, but you never know! So please try to attend!

A couple of notes: Please consider purchasing a couple of bottles of Ten Spoon wine, along with the wine you purchase by the glass. Since Connie and Andy are providing the venue gratis, the least we can do is make it worth their while, and offset the cost of the bartender.

RSVPs are not required, but would be appreciated! We'll be looking for you with a delicious array of food, good fellowship and a roaring fire!

If you are bringing a guest, that function is now enabled on this announcement, and you can edit your RSVP to so indicate.
