BHFF Board Members...and Committees Notables...and BHFF General membership
Happy New Year 2006!... Celebration Party January 12, 2006...6:45 PM...Journey Museum
Lobby...Bring your favorite cup for a FREE Tom & Jerry! Don’t forget the FLY-IN-THE-HAT drawing.
As 2005 was a great year, I can not think of any organization that has so dramatically improved its
prospects for a very bright future than BHFF and for the coming New Year. We can be assured that
2006 will be an even better year given the strong leadership of this volunteer Board and the very
active committees and growing gang of volunteers. You can be tremendously and rightfully proud of
what was accomplished in 2005...let’s take a moment to celebrate our collective achievements as we
prepare ourselves for the challenges to come in 2006.
