The BH&PS's main meeting room floor is still under construction and we hope to be open again by the end of April.
The BH&PS applied for and received a very generous Champlin Grant to renovate the floor. Our shortfall is now at a whopping $24,000. Therefore, we would be grateful for your donations.. Thank you, thank you!
