In addition to our shared dinner in the home, we have a large living room and beautiful backyard to spend time socializing with each other. We have an annual reunion BBQ and like any family, BGMH is always there to assist our ladies if needed and our home is always open to our past residents to share in the holidays such as: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
