Thank You!
Thank you to our Capital Credit Union, volunteers, and attendees that made the first Bismarck Beacon Plugged-In Event a success! Thank you to all the Bismarck organizations that presented opportunities for employees to socially ‘plug in’, including sports/recreation, arts, volunteering, and family/kids events.
