SAVE THE DATE –  Friday, June 15^th from 6:00-9:00pm. This is an event for folks of all ages, so invite your family and friends.  The BSA turns the playground, cafe and gymnasium into a carnival atmosphere with games, fun, food, and prizes.  To pull this event off, we need close to 100 volunteers.  Volunteers help to set up/breakdown; man the game stations as well as the ticket, food and prize tables.  We need volunteers to run 10 game stations.  Just 1 hour of your time is all we are asking for.  The famous “cake walk” is always a big hit for all family members, and we also need a minimum of 60 cakes for the “cake walk” -- the gaudier the better!  We need the necessary volunteers in advance to have the event.  Please contact Tom & Ellen DiPasquale at etdipasquale@comcast.net (978) 256-0082 or (978) 479-9778 (Cell) as soon as possible. This is a really FUN family event so we hope you can help out in some way.  Look for the flyer!

TUESDAY June 12 - BYAM Art Show 5pm - 7pm 

For this event, the cafe and gymnasium are turned into an art gallery. 

One piece of artwork from every child is put on display. 

During this event families are able to pick up their child’s art portfolio.   

Are you interested in helping with the show? 

If you would like to assist with mounting and/or layout of the artwork -- it is very easy and can be done at home

please contact Brita Dean at baxley99@aol.com
