In observance of the holiday, the Brookline Senior Center will be closed Friday July 4th. There will be no transportation or food services on that day.
A very large THANK YOU to all those that donated, volunteered, worked, planned or shopped at yesterday’s yard sale. We raised $1600+. All proceeds will benefit the Brookline Senior Center
Due to high demand for the Senior Centers monthly trips and a desire to be fair for all and allow more participants to enjoy these opportunities, we are piloting having registrants entered into a free staff supervised raffle. If you are part of a pair, this does not guarantee both registrants’ attendance. For those who need caregiver assistance, please call Jamie at 617‐730‐2753.

MEMA coordinates with federal, state and local government agencies, non-profits and businesses to prepare, respond and recover from emergencies and disasters. The raffle date is Friday, June 27.
