OUR NEXT BAA BOARD MEETING IS BEING HELD ON May 19, 2013 FROM 2 TO 4PM AT ST. MICHAEL'S ON THE HEIGHTS IN WORCESTER, MA.
To Our Bement Family:
As some of you know Charlton Woods was forced to close. The Bement Alumni Board is reaching out to the actual owners of the property but as of today they have not responded. We will continue to work towards a summer program whether we are able use the Bement property this summer or not. If we are not able to use Bement this summer we will use our fundraising efforts to provide camperships for youth in need and in the future work to find a suitable location for a summer program.
The Bement Spirit will not die if we will continue to fan the embers.
Your BAA Board.
