Dear Community Friends,
Come for the A/C...
and stay for the awesome classes, events, and
workshops all month at the BCCA! Read on to
see
what's up this month...
BCCA News
Last April, the BCCA was granted a temporary
3-month
Entertainment License by the Town of
Brookline with the help of the many BCCA supporters
and neighbors who appeared at our Entertainment
License hearing. This
temporary license has allowed us to continue to hold
evening events, such as our weekly Salsa parties, live
music concerts, and more.
Next month, the BCCA will have an Entertainment
License Hearing at City
Hall in Brookline to obtain an improved and more
permanent Entertainment License. We need
your support
over the next several weeks to help make this license a
reality. You may show your support by appearing at a
preliminary hearing next week that will extend our
temporary license until next month. The hearing will be
held at City Hall in Brookline on August 10th at 8:25
p.m.
You may also help by writing letters of support to
demonstrate your backing of our mission and track
record here at the
BCCA. Letters of support and general inquiries about
our Entertainment License may be directed to Dan
Marshall via
e-mail or phone at (617) 970-1444, and stay
tuned
for more information about the September hearing.
The BCCA also still needs your support for the
Building Fund to reach or goal of raising
$100,000. For more information about how you can
help, please
e-mail or
call Vlad Selsky, Director of Development, at
(617) 233-4647.
