Bev Berla and Art Koenig were honored at the Gifted Resource Council’s 40th Anniversary Celebration for teaching at least 20 years with the organization.

The education agency was founded in 1983 to bring together the resources to support and enrich bright and talented children to achieve their potential.

Berla is one of the co-founders of GRC, was the executive director early on and retired from teaching last summer.

Koenig has been teaching for about 26 years.

Both attend Central Reform Congregation.
