This club does allot of breakfasts,
I know they set up, the lady shared that it is at six in the morning on 
Saturday.
they stay there until ten thirty.
this is the strawberry breakfast.
I was asked not to go because of six in the morning.
the folks have no clue at all what the blind can or can't do.
