Saturday, November 7th will see the BHS with a table at the Tru-Tru Bahamian Festival. This first-time event is hosted by the Bahamas Hotel and Tourism Association and will be held at John Watling’s Distillery on Delancy Street. 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Saturday, November 21st & Sunday, November 22nd, you will find us at the annual Christmas Jollification at the Retreat on Village Road. This event kicks off the Christmas season and is a great place to purchase gifts for the pets and pet-lovers in your life. There is also a BNT members’ evening on Friday the 20th.

We are seeking volunteers! For the Nov 7th event and the Jollification days.
We are also looking for people who are able to offer 3 – 4 hours one day a week for the next three months (or more!) to help out at the Thrift Shop. If this is you, please contact me!

Stay tuned for more to come. We hope to see you this Sunday!
