Brookwood...Going Green

The Brookwood citizens thank Duke Energy, headed by Milton Howard, for helping to make Brookwood a little greener thanks to their wind turbine on campus.

Thank you Duke Energy!

It's Always Busy in Brookwood's Shipping Department!

A behind the scenes look at our shipping department, where citizen Samantha is helping Shipping Manager Stanley to pack greeting cards.  By the way, watch for our NEW Christmas Card Brochure, coming to you in a couple of months!

This is becoming a weekly tradition. 

Happy Summer!

 

(Here's hoping that you will be able to see the video...this is my first time

 to post one taken on my iPhone, so hope it works!)

Endowment Garden Blooming

The Brookwood Endowment Garden recently has benefited from a little TLC

and many new plants!  Stop by and spend some time reflecting on a bench in the shade.

 

Basketball Practice in the Gym

Teresa Thomas, a valued staff member at the clinic, shared these pictures of Greg Glauser and

our citizens practicing their basketball skills earlier this summer.  I thought you would enjoy them.

 

 

 

Thanks Teresa!

Brookwood Citizen featured in upcoming Calendar...

Jeff Joplin, a citizen of Brookwood for 18 years, will be representing all of the amazing

artists at Brookwood in the 2015 Special Talents Calendar!  The Calendar will be available

to purchase at our Art Gallery after September 15th.  Below are Jeff and Grant Manier, the

creator of this Calendar, meeting for the first time in Mrs. Streit's office.  Grant has autism and

has channeled his love of tearing paper into amazing artworks.  He will be featured in the

2015 Calendar as will Dr. Temple Grandin.  Jeff will be showing 4 of our Comfort Bowls

that he and many of our citizens paint, on the December page of the calendar.

 

Brookwood Citizen Jeff Joplin and artist Grant Manier look at

Congratulations Jeff! 

We know you will represent all of our

citizen artists well.

Project BESTT Citizens at Work

Project BESTT is a happening place!

 Teachers work with students every day;

 "Grandpa" and Marla stop by for a visit...

and rest a bit in the lobby as they make their rounds.
