Hence, the monthly Last Friday
Ladies Lunch, held from noon
to 1:30 p.m. the last Friday
of each month at the Maybeck-inspired
Hillside Club (www.hillsideclub.org),
which was founded by Berkeley
women in 1898.
This informal lunch encourages
women (and a few women-friendly
men) to share their ideas
and promote (or denigrate)
themselves if they like over
an unusually savory and sustainably
prepared meal by The
Bread Workshop in Berkeley.
Cost is $20/$15 (club members), payable at the
door, and to receive a monthly
invitation, click

Everyone gets to speak at this lunch, so come prepared for all kinds of nourishment.
We end each lunch with a
short talk by a randomly selected
amazing person, such as Erica
Lutz, author of “The
Complete Idiot’s Guide
to Stepparenting” and
editor in chief of LiteraryMama.com;
Nan Gefen, who founded an
online literary journal for
older women (www.persimmontree.org);
Sherry Miller, an artist and
self-proclaimed oldest woman
on the web (www.sherryart.com);
and Gwen Mazer, a well-known
fashion editor, who wrote
“Wise Talk, Wild Women,”
a book that might apply to
all of us who attend these
lunches.
