Because of Spring Break, the October meeting has been moved forward. The time was also moved to 6:30 to accommodate several members’ schedules.
NEXT MONTH’S REGULAR BGAC MEETING WILL OCCUR AT THE SENIOR CENTER IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM: OCTOBER 6TH AT 6:30.

The group ALSO decided to hold the 50+ Shades of Grey
show and reception at the Senior Center. Preferences for art to be hung: the
dining room; preferences for the reception: the main room on the first floor,
with food table in hall way; possibilities for the reception: a Monday night
from 5-7 or a Sunday afternoon between lunch and dinner. Alice was asked
