Bob Branco, owner of
Branco Events. I am a life-long resident of New Bedford, Massachusetts,
born August 12, 1957. For the first several years of my schooling, I was placed
in a sight saving class, where we all received special attention due to the
small class size as well as our visual deficiencies. When I reached the fifth
grade, the State of Massachusetts could no longer accommodate me locally, so I
was sent to the Perkins School for the blind in Watertown, Mass, where I
graduated from their high school in 1977. I went on to receive an associates
degree from Bristol Community College in Business Administration, and then
obtained my Bachelors' degree in Finance at Southeastern Massachusetts
University. I belonged to many community-minded organizations over the years, and became well-versed in coordinating activities. I ran trips, dances, workshops, class reunions, surprise parties, talent shows, candy sales, car washes, Christmas parties, bowling leagues, softball teams, etc. When I started Branco Events, I was quite confident that my personal experience in planning activities would serve to benefit the business a great deal, and help it become a complete success. As you continue to look through my web sight, you will probably have questions, comments and opinions. Please submit them to me at branco182@worldnet.att.net.
