This Saturday, June 14 - BBQ Location Change

To All Napa Valley Divers:

We have changed the venue for our Potluck BBQ!

The annual Berryessa Club “Potluck BBQ” which is scheduled for this Saturday, June 14 (11am) has been moved from Berryessa to Napa!

Through our conversations with various club members, we discovered that many would like to attend this social BBQ but couldn’t afford the time for an entire day event at Berryessa, so… we made it local.

Come one, come all, children welcome!

Same time… new location!
