An emailed reminder mentions the breakfast club will have its regular monthly meeting at the usual place and time — 5 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month in the private room of Luna’s restaurant. A few moments before the meeting begins, a trickle of the most influential and community-minded women in Gainesville and Hall County start strolling into the small corner room of the restaurant. By a quarter past five, some 20 women have arrived.
