Brookline Thrives updates & needs, week of Nov 27 - Dec 1

Posted: 11/27/2023 12:16 pm

From Sharon Brockmann, Brookline Thrives Manager:

Dear Everyone,

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends! I enjoyed very precious time with my family in NYC. With my phone hidden deep in my hip pack, I took time to reflect and enjoy the simple pleasure of being with my children, slowing down and simplifying life a little while taking in the noise and craziness of the city.

This week Thrives will be awarded The Herb Carlin Community Health Award on Wednesday, please keep reading for more details. I hope to see some of you at the presentation.

Thank you and have a great week, Sharon
