Thank you for joining us at Bosquet - Lift Bistro!

Monday, June 6, 2022, 5:30 – 7:00PM

After a long 2 years and 3 months, Berkshire Business and Professional Women’s monthly membership meeting resumed "in person" on June 6, 2022. We had a lively networking meeting, overlooking the beautiful Bosquet mountain from their new and delightful setting. What a joy to reconnect in person with new and old friends, while enjoying great meals, including vegan and gluten free options.
