mail.app Emailing an address book group

I am trying to create a applescript to make a new message bcc’ing an address book group. I have been trying a few ways and the closest I can get is with the script below.
This lets me select the group and I can see that it retrieve’s the emails but I can’t figure out how to set the bcc to be those emails.

tell application "Address Book"
	set gp_list to the name of every group
	set theGroup to the value of email of every person in group (item 1 of (choose from list gp_list))
end tell
tell application "Mail"
	activate
	set theSubject to "subject"
	set theBody to "message"
	set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody & return & return}
	tell newMessage
		set visible to true
		make new to recipient with properties {name:"Me", address:"my@email.com"}
		make new bcc recipient with properties {theGroup}
	end tell
end tell

Thank you for any help

add this code after

repeat with i from 1 to (count of theGroup)
try
set theemailadd to item i of theGroup as text
make new bcc recipient at end of bcc recipients with properties {address: theemailadd}
end try
end repeat

This works great.
I did notice that if I had contacts with more than one email address their entry came out like “email1@gmail.comemail2@gmail.com” but I just cleared off the second email for the couple people.

Thank you, Brad
