Dedication of Marty Bennetti Friendship Circle, Sat Oct 12, 9am

All are encouraged to come to BG on Saturday October 12 at 9am for the dedication of the Marty Bennetti Friendship Circle.

This celebration of unconditional friendship will mark the opening of BG's new outdoor seating space.  It is designed to be a place where friends can gather to talk and connect, away from distractions.  BG places a special priority on community and friendship among all, which is critically important for every generation.   This space was built in memory of Marty Bennetti, BG Class of 1980 who was a friend to all and continues to be fondly remembered.  He passed away too early, on September 8, 2006.  See you there!
