Hello Prospective member,

We hope you've enjoyed your time at the Golden Gate Breakfast Club. Since 1946, we've been meeting every Wednersday for breakfast, friendship and enlightenment. You're unlikely to find such a jovial group of folks spending time enjoying each others company so early in the morning. It might make Wednesday one of your favorite days of the week. We have people from all walks of life, from artists and writers to lawyers and police, not to mention civic and business leaders who all support our club's charitable mission.

We're glad you've chosen to apply for membership and assure you that we'll do our uptmost to make the process as painless as possible.

Thanks again for your interest in the GGBC!

Sincerely,

Hugh Tuck
President
