The festive evening was emceed by Lucinda Borque, who served as Master of Ceremonies with elegance, humor, and heartfelt patriotism. She guided the evening’s program seamlessly, energizing the crowd and setting a warm, celebratory tone.
Lucinda had the honor of introducing BCFRW President Shirley Maia-Cusick and the entire Executive Board. It was truly an all-hands-on-deck affair!
Terri Kane opened the program with a beautiful prayer and led guests in the Pledge of Allegiance. Michelle Mann, Treasurer, graciously greeted guests upon arrival, ensuring everyone felt welcome. Vice President Allison Burton, the primary contact for Braddock’s Tavern, brought a patriotic flair to the evening by decorating the venue with red, white, and blue flowers and festive accents.
