BAO is an amazing place. The staff and volunteers are wonderful. They do so many great things for the community that there isn’t enough space to sing their praises. Karen, Jamie and all the staff are so supportive. Drag queen bingo is tons of fun (the first Monday of every month) and for a great cause.
