Monthly
BSAA Soul Food Sundays will be on the 2nd Sunday of each month. We want to create a family atmosphere of different cultures, skin tones and accents to have a place to be you and connect with others. There will be no agenda, only faces, a little music and opportunity to let go. My Gopher BSAA family, please stay strong, and you are not alone in this journey.
