From the time we started this website we have operated in cyberspace, and behind the MEMBERSHIP door as well. In some ways the secrecy of these things are almost like our days meeting to “bake” or passing a recipe card to a fellow BAKER or to our Project Commander while looking over our shoulder.

Well in May 2017 we will be in Washington for our first physical get together. Representatives of The State Department are working toward a recognition of our efforts and we are hopeful for an announcement in the next month.

If you have been considering becoming a MEMBER this is a good time to do it. All the details are posted on the MESSAGE BOARD.

I have been asked a few times, why I only do a post once per year?

Well its because all the action is “behind the wall” in the MEMBERS section.

Our history is something that because it was a secret some of us can only share privately and quietly. Others  are out and talking about our experiences but we have the problem today of some BAKERS who are very concerned that simply acknowledging knowing a BAKER or having participated in a Baking Club would not be  received very positively in some families.

So this Public side of the website I dutifully update once per year, while very actively working on the various message board, discussion forums, mentoring groups  and outreach programs we have  in the MEMBERS section.

Our first year has been an eventful one. From only a handful of members initially our membership continues to grow at a very healthy pace. Unfortunately some BAKERS pass each year ad most of us are now in our 70’s. But with age many are also choosing to share their experience with family members for the first time.

If you are not ready to have the conversation with a family member about your history as a MEMBER you can participate in one of our webinars that are run by BAKERS who have gone through that experience. You may still chose to not disclose your past but will have some tools if you change your mind at one point.

All it takes as a starting point is to initiate the registration process on the LOG- IN tab above.

After many decades we are finally able to come out from the shadows. Some of us may choose not not to take that step. For some it is too late. But for the rest of us who are proud of our accomplishments its time to reconnect with our fellow BAKERS and relish in what we achieved.

This website is at an early stage of development, and the Public portion will always remain quite modest as the real action is occurring in the MEMBER section, once you are logged in. So if you are a BAKER or if your mother, grandmother, or sister shared her secret with you and you would like to become a MEMBER, go to the Log-in section and follow the instructions.
