Portland BCBS Gathering

We warmly invite you to join us for a brunch gathering to connect and celebrate the spirit of the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies with our Portland-area community.

Saturday, May 9, 2026 • 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM ET
Hosted by Jeri Sides
3 Gordons Ln, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107

Our new Executive Director, Melissa Gopnik, together with Board Member and Host Jeri Sides, looks forward to meeting you and hearing your hopes for BCBS.

We hope the gathering offers a chance to reconnect with friends and enjoy a sense of sangha close to home.

Jeri will host us at her Cape Elizabeth home and prepare a vegetarian brunch.
