Berkeley High School Development Group April News


HOT BHSDG NEWS:


WE'RE ONE WEEK AWAY FROM DAVEED DIGGS COMING to town! This year's Business Partner's lunch will be held on April 17th (please note the new date; Daveed has to start filming his new movie on April 19th!) Revival Kitchen and Bar is the scene, and our guest speaker will be BHS Alumni, star of Hamilton, Black-ish, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Wonder, and the upcoming Blindspotting: DAVEED DIGGS! Daveed will be interviewed by BHS Alum Robin Claire Barnes, and the super-fabulous Berkeley High Jazz Combo B will be performing. And this is how awesome Daveed is: he'll be doing an all-school assembly at BHS afterwards, and taking a small group of students out for tea after that.


Do you really want to tell your grandchildren that yes, you had the chance to attend and you didn't go.....?
