Greetings all, the BSC President Shri Haribhaibriefed all about the organization and informed that the membership fee for 2021 remains unchanged. A meeting of the executive members was held in this regard. BSC charges $ 100 a year, and hosts 15 to 18 programs with dinners.

If the situation improves, BSC will do two programs every month. Hopefully in the year 2021, everything will be fine.
