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.
