BSSL MARCH 2020 by RaNelle Stuckey

Together, we can make a difference

This year is the twenty year anniversary of the BridgeMill Sixes Service League (BSSL). We had 10 new members join this year for a total of 76 active members.

We were very excited to learn that Dottie Jones, one of our current members, was also one of the original members. She shared the history of BSSL with us: One of the residents put a notice in the BridgeMill News asking any interested women to meet for the possibility of forming a “ladies club”. The meeting was held in her home in September of 2000. About 10 women attended and that was the beginning of the “BridgeMill Ladies Club”. It was immediately apparent that this dedicated group of ladies was all about “giving back” – with fun and friendship added for good measure. We received inquiries about the group from women in the general Sixes community who were also interested in assisting the less fortunate in our area. The “ladies club” evolved into the BridgeMill-Sixes Service League and we became an official 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 100% of the monies we raised has always been donated and/or used for the charities we support. Annual dues fund the operating expenses. It is hard to believe that twenty years have passed and it’s a tribute to the dedicated membership that BSSL has continued to grow and raise thousands of dollars for the benefit of the less fortunate.

Bunco for Charity was our February fundraiser-always a fun and successful event, and this year’s proceeds went to the Cherokee Family Violence Center.

Please join us at the Terraces on Thursday March 19th at 7:00PM for our next monthly meeting as we discuss how we can further meet our community’s needs and plan for our VOLLEY FOR A CURE fundraiser.

Contact our president, Mary Wiechert - mnwiechert@ gmail.com or our membership vice-president Sally Peterson - sapeterson61@gmail.com to learn how you too can be a part of the BSSL.
