FOBB upcoming events and activities

Dear FOBB Members:
I’m sure you are aware by now that our only fundraiser- Bourbon and Bones- will occur this Thursday, November 17th at President’s Inn, 5:30-8:30. We have much to be proud of regarding what we have accomplished for the BBLSHS. The list below of community events/activities FOBB has participated in during 2016 is also impressive, giving us another reason to celebrate. If you haven’t decided whether to attend or not, tickets can still be purchased through Event Brite- www.eventbrite.com/e/bourbon-and-bones-tickets-27843802563 , or purchased at the door by members only.
However, if you cannot attend Bourbon and Bones, perhaps you can join in for the Christmas dinner at the President’s Inn on Thursday, December 1st at 6:00. This is the second FOBB Christmas get-together, and yes there will still be much to celebrate. The Lincoln Room will be set aside for us that evening, and members who can come will order from the menu. Please respond to this email and let me know if you can make it on December 1st.
Happy Holidays,
Pat
