Brown Bag Luncheon Series
The Brown Bag Luncheon Series is held on the first Wednesday of the month from September through May. The event is held at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, and is free to the public. As the name implies, attendees are welcome to bring their own lunch or may pre-pay for a "Box Lunch" that will be waiting for them when they arrive.
The purpose of the event is to present timely subjects in an informal atmosphere, affording attendees a genuine interaction with the speakers. The series focuses on City and Downtown, with past series featuring Downtown Developers, Business Leaders, Waterfront Development, Cultural Heritage and Educational Leaders.
