HOLLEY & GEORGE WASHINGTON SCHOOL KIDS ENTERTAIN BCS BOARD

We had a special treat at our December board meeting: a group of children from the Holley Center and the George Washington School entertained us with holiday music celebrating Hanukkah and Christmas. One of the highlights of the performance was a solo rendition of Leonard Cohen‘s Hallelujah. After the concert, the kids gave each of the board members a gift of homemade holiday cookies. Thank you to Holley Center staff members Ruthie Harper and Fran Spiegel for making it happen.
