“I have been a Beverly resident my entire life. I am very passionate about our community, my friends and my family. BAPA is passionate about the same things. BAPA’s mission-driven programs focus on issues that enhance our quality of life: safety, schools, housing, shopping, business services, communications, and beautification. BAPA is always working to make life in our community better. They know that together we can be better! Whether it’s cleaning up the hill on a Weeding Wednesday, planning a new exciting event for our community or hosting a business forum to help our small business owners, BAPA always has our community’s best interest in mind. One of my favorite things about BAPA is how much they care about what all of our residents and organizations care about. BAPA always helps promote events for my non-profit organization, A New Direction. I for one cannot imagine Beverly/Morgan Park without BAPA – that’s why my husband Mike and I are members. Thank you for all you do for us BAPA!”
