BATV 2020 Annual Meeting of the Membership

2/20/2020

2 Comments

BATV’s Annual Meeting of the Membership is scheduled for Thursday, March 19, 2020.

The event will be held at the Tewksbury Country Club, 1880 Main Street in Tewksbury, MA. Doors open at 6:30 pm with hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. The business meeting commences at 7:00 pm. Elections and dinner will follow.

During the Meeting, the membership will have an opportunity to elect one individual to serve a
three year term on the BATV Board of Directors. At this time, Rob Anderson is the sole nominee.

We are pleased to announce that Comedian Steve Bjork will be providing entertainment for the evening.

The Boston Globe recently described Steve Bjork as “one of the top names” in New England stand-up comedy. Bjork is a polished veteran of the highly competitive Boston comedy scene with crisscrossing tours of the country under his belt. His material is intelligent and accessible, but first and foremost, it is funny. Bjork takes everyday life and turns it upside down in a way that every demographic in any given audience can enjoy.

He has performed at all of the major Boston and New England comedy clubs along with The Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, NJ; The Improv in Las Vegas, NV; Mohegan Sun in CT, Hilarities in Orlando, FL and Cleveland, OH; TSM Comedy Caravan in Louisville, KY; Crackers in Indianapolis, IN; Penguins in Cedar Rapids, IA; and many, many others.

We hope you will attend BATV’s Annual Meeting of the Membership on March 19, 2020.

Minutes from the March 21, 2019 Annual Meeting of the Membership can be viewed here.
