On February 15, President Darshana Thakkar and Assistant District Governor/District Governor-Elect Pooja Singla of Burlington Breakfast Rotary Club (BBRC) were interviewed by Burlington Cable Access Television regarding the installation of a Buddy Bench at Fox Hill Elementary School. This project is a successful collaboration between District 7930 and the BBRC team.

The Buddy Bench is available for this year’s 500 students to experience a safe space for talking, making new friends, celebrating achievements, discovering, and connecting with each other.
