The 2023 BACS holiday luncheon was celebrated on December 9 at First Church of Christ, Congregational. We thank Social Chair Eileen Larsen and her team of helper-elves for their creative and beautiful party making. The sandwiches were catered, but everything else, from soup to desserts, was donated by members.

Along with other members of the First Parish art gallery committee, BACS members Maria Green, Kati Oates, Doris Smith, and Chris Wojnar are participating in an ongoing show at the Gallery@First Parish. An artist reception is planned, with the date TBA. The work will be on display until January 28.
