I am the Communications & Development Associate at BHS. This summer I'm looking forward to many things - bike riding and traveling to Guatemala are at the top of the list. I am also eagerly awaiting BHS' Fort Greene/Clinton Hill Neighborhood Guide so I can read up on the history and architecture of my favorite Brooklyn neighborhoods.
Jimmy Wales, founder of the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, filmed a promo in BHS’ Library for USA network’s “Character of the Year Award”.
Click here to see the longer version of the commercial with Mr. Wales discussing censorship, the future of the internet and other fascinating ideas with the stunning Othmer Library as backdrop.
I don’t know about you all, but it’s been a crazy couple of weeks (election antics, economic meltdowns…). I’m looking forward to great music by OP! and all the other fun to be had this Thursday night at BHS’ Fall Fiesta. This year ticket proceeds will go to support Education programs at BHS.
Rumor has it that the guests to the Fiesta will get spaldeens in their gift bags (spaldeens are those red bouncy balls that you use to play handball or streetball with), which I’m thinking can also double as a fantastic stress-reliever when the fiesta-ing is over.
Congratulations to the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce for 90 years of supporting Brooklyn businesses and local economic development! BHS currently has an installation of images and archives in our Tile Lobby commemorating the Chamber’s years of service to the Borough.
