"Open mic night is an event where the community comes out to show their talent, whether it is singing, dancing, doing stand-up comedy, playing instruments, or reciting poetry," said Tiffany Rivera, BOSS Volunteer. Servicemembers, Families, Friends, and Korean good neighbors came out to show support for participants and even show off some of their own talents as well.
