Bandon resident, Bev Min, was one more gem that sparkled during this summer’s Children’s Cultural Book Program.  On August 12 Bev led not only children but also our adult volunteers in celebrating Korean culture, language, and food in the Sprague Room of Bandon Library. Bev was one of many volunteers that made the Children’s Cultural Book Program possible, AND an impressive example of what we can do when we put our talents, skills, and knowledge together to make a stronger, healthier community. 

Just like Braydon, our chalk artist for the August 12 event (who by the way volunteered even as the sun set the evening before), you can become a part of BIG’s efforts to celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity, and ensure justice and fairness in our Bandon community.
