Tips to survive the Yuletide yoyo

Women of Fallbrook can pencil in December 18 on their calendars for the monthly Fallbrook Women’s Connection Brunch at the Grand Tradition. Starting at 10 a.m., a festive brunch will be served, followed by a performance from Sandra Kopitzke and the Totally In-Tune singers and dancers who will entertain the assembly with A Cool Yule.

Fallbrook’s own Barbara Brown, using a familiar toy, the yoyo, will share how to get through “The Ups and Downs of Christmas.” Deadline for reservations is December 11. Call (760) 728-4513 or (760) 723-1605 early, as the December brunch fills up fast. Childcare is free with a reservation.
