Letter From the President:
Bear BOSC Members,
Happy Holidays and warm wishes for every good thing this wonderful season can
possibly bring. I look forward to seeing you all at the Tour of Homes as we admire
some of the historical homes at Barksdale and celebrate with the families that are
currently calling them home. And may your own home be full of gladness and cheer
during this season of celebration.
Wishing you joy, peace and happiness,
Carri
