August 2022 BPA Membership Meeting

The Summer Membership Meeting hosted by the Nappier Chapter BPA – was a huge success! We welcomed BPA Members and Chapters from across the United States to Connecticut and Massachusetts.

The Holiday Inn Hartford was a gracious host location, providing us with conference facilities, the Hospitality Suite, and hotel rooms, and treated us well. Lunch at the hotel was brought in from Nardelli’s Grinder Shop, and the sandwiches were delicious!

The Saturday Night Dinner & Concert was held at Springfield, MA’s Basketball Hall of Fame.

Dinner was provided by Leone’s Restaurant in Springfield, MA – the food was amazing, and our server took very good care of our group;

The evening’s soundtrack was provided by a fantastic Jazz/Instrumental/Groove band called The Subliminals – with our Treasurer and Founding Member Aaron Daniels on percussion!
