Welcome to Springfield


Hello to all the lobster watchers out there. As some of you know, a few prominent members of NER BBYO have made their way deep into the heart of Springfield to assist our brothers and sisters from CVR in the setting up of our joint convention (kallah for CVR, Music for us). After bonding on our long car ride, we finally found ourselves in the garage of the Sheraton hotel. We had no inkling of what this monolithic building would be like on the inside. We took the cold elevator out of the significantly colder garage. What happened next was a scene straight out of Willy Wonka, when they enter the magnificent edible room with the chocolate river. The hotel is straight up amazing. Really… its mind blowing. We can’t wait for everyone to get here!

NER in the NEW YEAR!


Hello everyone,

It's time to get this blog rocking and rolling again.

2010 was great for our region but 2011 proves to be even more exciting for NER BBYO!

New England Region's AZA/BBG Winter Convention with Connecticut Valley Region is this weekend, and will be a weekend to remember! There will be incredible programs based on the convention theme of music and amazing speakers, like the former Neo-Nazi who will share his story. There will also be great prizes and contests for all!

We will be having teens blog over the weekend to share their experience with all of you!
