BECC regular monthly meetings begin at 5:30 PM at either the Oxbow Activity Center, Building 9-150, Room 201, or another location as announced. Beginning in December 2007, the new location for most meetings will be the Burien Community Center, 425 SW 144th St, Burien, WA, however we also tried the Tukwila Community Center in February. The previous location was the Burien Elks Lodge, however we were unable to continue meeting at the Elks due to a cost increase. (Club members previously voted to have 2 out of every 3 meetings at the Elks.)
