Welcome

The mission of BridgeMakers is to provide an opportunity to build new relationships, meet new friends, and find continued meaning in life and living. In love, understanding and hope, we need not walk along. The program provides special speakers on healthy lifestyles, inspirational and motivational information, encouragement, fellowship, and a host of other topics.

BridgeMakers meets monthly at the Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church, located at 3405 Peerless Road NW in Cleveland, on the fourth Thursday of each month (unless noted on the schedule). The monthly meetings include, fellowship, food, door prizes, speakers, special activities, and travel opportunities. 

The price of the meal for the meeting is $100 annually (if paid in January) or $10 per month.  You may begin arriving at 3:15 p.m. for fellowship.   The food bar opens at 4:15 p.m. and the meeting begins at 4:45 p.m.  (Note:  Please enter at the back of the church where the park bench is located.)  Please note that reservations must be made one week prior to the meeting and paid before the meeting.

BridgeMakers is a support group established by Ralph Buckner Funeral Home & Crematory and is open to anyone in the community that wishes to attend. The program is co-sponsored by Ralph Buckner Funeral Home & Crematory, and McIntire & Associates.

The group is directed by Kathleen Frappier, for more information or to make a meeting reservation, please call the BridgeMakers information line at 423-472-1969.
