“I encourage anyone who is interested in jewelry making or giving back to the community to join BFJC! We would love to have you,” said secretary Ariella Pelton.

If you or anyone is interested in joining or checking out BFJC, meetings are held the second and fourth Mondays of each month in L104 during lunch.
