On June 7th our city council members, Michael McQuillen, Ginny Cain and Christine Scales invited the BRAG Board to the City Council meeting to be recognized by a special resolution for "five years of service to the Binford area with efforts to grow and sustain the community." The board is humbled and deeply appreciates the recognition.

Thank you to all who met with us at Hillcrest Country Club for the BRAG Celebration on Thursday night, Nov. 19th, 2009.  We had wonderful crowd of nearly 200 listening to a summary of our accomplishments and engaging in active discussion about the future of BRAG and the Binford neighborhood plans.

October 2008
The Oktoberfest held on October 11th at Hillcrest Country Club in conjunction with the Hillcrest Historic Foundation was a huge success.  About 250 people attended raising nearly $12,000.  BRAGs share of the loot is just shy of $6000!   A big thank you is owed to the staff of Hillcrest and the large number of volunteers from the Foundation.  And thank you to all who attended this fun and rewarding event.  Click here for photos.
