We had another great week at BCD. Here is some news to use!

Volunteers Needed for the Apple Squeeze & Harvest Festival!
It is fall in the Berkshires and that means that BCD Office of Admission will have a booth at your favorite fairs! Please join me in greeting current and prospective BCD families, and creating arts and crafts. Just an hour of your time on a beautiful fall weekend in the Berkshires would be much appreciated. Please come into the BCD Office of Admission to sign up for a time slot or email me at afreeman@berkshirecountryday.org

Come by to say hello, volunteer, or use the BCD booth as a meeting place!
