Anything can happen at Disneyland. The GGs pose for a scary photo illustration. Ruby holds a fire breathing pumpkin
that scares and surprises Chillin and Maribel.
The GGs appreciate their supervisors, Mike Jones,
now retired, Richard Washington and their CEO,
Peter Fortenbaugh for making the work environment
welcoming and conducive for the staff to have fun
while developing the youth.
It is no secret that hanging out with friends feels
great, but what makes it special is understanding
the science that explains why. In 2016, researchers
discovered that hanging out with friends, also known
as “peaceful associations,” increases the production
of oxytocin -- the hormone that floods our bodies
when we’re happy. When oxytocin is released, it is
proven to make more people trusting, generous, and
friendly during positive social bonding experiences.
The GGs are an example of a friendship developed
at BGCP. The next time you’re headed to lunch with
a coworker, it may not just be lunch, it may be the
beginning of a new peaceful association with your
new BFF.
On behalf of The Soultown Magazine, we
would like to thank the GGs, the Sisters With
Different Misters, BGCP, Mike Jones, Richard
Washington and Peter Fortenbaugh for having
SOUL! ,

up -- The bean is a large public sculpture in Millennium
Park - while Maribel photo bombs her with the Authentic
Warrior towel in the background.
