Hence, the monthly Last Friday
Ladies Lunch, held from noon
to 2 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 $12, payable at the
door, and to receive a monthly
invitation, click

Prepare to talk about yourself
at each lunch in front of
the group, although you don’t
have to reveal anything if
you prefer.
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.

about speakers, food, venue,
