Bringing a

One of the unique aspects of small towns is their dedication to
community life. These towns fill the calendar with events that
bring the community together and inspire people to form tight
knit bonds with their neighbors.
For the Village of Brooklyn, a committee of residents (up to
nine) in the Oregon School District organizes many of the family
oriented events. The committee has been around since the
1990s and these individuals have a common goal:

To enrich the lives of Brooklyn residents.
The committee meets once a month, but throughout the month
they are actively working behind the scenes. They are busier
than Santa’s helpers as they prepare each event and nurture the
town’s friendly atmopshere.
While each event has a fundraising component (such as
raising money for items like park equipment), the primary goal
is encouraging people to spend quality time with their friends,
neighbors, and even visitors like you. We’d love to see you there!
