Citizens help with Special Events at Brookwood!

Our citizens help our Cafe and Events teams prepare for special events at Brookwood.  Here you see some of our citizens tidying up the Worship Center for a Wedding this weekend.  (Not shown:  2 work program teachers and Cafe staff working with our citizens!)

Kevin dusts the stained glass window sills.

 

Meade places votive candles on the sills.

 

 Jeff helps to put out candles on the window sills.

Rick enjoys vacuuming and does a great job!

 

 Janice helps to sweep, inside and out.

Olivia places Brookwood flyers in the pews for the wedding guests.

 

 

And finally, Stacey washes the windows on the Worship Center doors.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!  IT LOOKS SO PRETTY NOW!
