KICK OFF MEETING RECAP
B3 is Back!
The 2021-2022 year officially began on Sunday with the Kick-Off meeting at Christ and Holy Trinity Church in Westport.
Students met their B3 advisors, reconnected with friends and teammates, received the new
2021-22 Community Service T-Shirt, found out about fundraising products and most importantly, learned about this year's projects in Guatemala.
B3 Ambassadors greeted team members at the door and B3 coffee from Guatemala was available to sample.
We're off to a great start and looking forward to a great year!
