A letter of gratitude from BGCSF President, Rob Connolly, to all supporters.
It’s been a long and divisive election season. At both the local and national levels, there has been a barrage of messages about what is wrong in our society. And, there has been a relentless emphasis on our differences, making them seem impossible to bridge.
