One of the good guys and long-time BNOA member John Sullivan passed this morning after a long battle with chronic illness. John was an outstanding educator and a great mentor and role model for many of us. He has served recently as a member of our Hall of Fame committee.

Read's Sporting Goods was broken into last week, with many items taken. Read's has been a supporter of the BNOA for decades. In the spirit of giving, we'd encourage you to buy a gift card or make a purchase from them this holiday season. Link to story: https://t.co/kBe9eMCimm

The BNOA will be making a $250 donation to the IESA GoFundMe to help support the ongoing expenses and allow them to continue their work through and beyond the pandemic. We encourage our members to support this GoFundMe as well. https://t.co/JQYjuuHJHy
