We have been tracking the Snow predicted to spread over the Boston area Saturday evening. Right now it appears that snow will not start before 9PM, SO WE ARE GOING AHEAD WITH BBC MEMBERS NIGHT. Please keep an eye out for further updates. |
Mark your calendar for the BBC Members Showcase on February 8, 2025 at John Glenn Middle School at 99 McMahon Road in Bedford, MA. Several members will share their birding story with BBC members via video, sculpture and slide shows. The evening begins at 6:30 with a social hour, refreshments, and a used book sale table.
A social hour with refreshments will precede the meeting from 6:30 to 7:30.
We will have a book sale table where you can sell your extra books about birds, birding, and other natural history topics. All proceeds will go to the BBC. Unsold books will be donated to More Than Words in Waltham.
If you would like to donate books please plan to arrive at 6:30 or before.
This event is free and open to all. There is plenty of free parking. Please note that this event will be in person only, with no Zoom link.
