Ty Gagne
We loved welcoming Ty Gagné to the Brooke House. He did a wonderful job sharing his story, experiences in the White Mountains, and the journey that led to his writing. We’re so grateful for his visit and the meaningful conversation he brought with him.
CHristmas caroling
Christmas Eve caroling at Betsy’s Park was a great success. It was fun to gather at the pavilion, sing together, and see so many familiar and new faces from the community. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such an enjoyable evening.
BROOKE HOUSE GRAND OPENING
What a memorable day at Betsy’s Park! 🌳 It was incredible to see our community come together to celebrate the opening of the
Brooke House with live music, great food from Squam Marketplace, and refreshing drinks. Thank you to everyone who showed
their love and support for this special project!
Tree planting
Our tree planting day went well! Thank you to Richard Hodges from BeTreeUs, based in sandwich, for leading the group of wonderful volunteers! We spent the afternoon planting peach, apple, pear, mulberry, blueberry, and elderberry trees and shrubs to help the park grow into a thriving, fruitful space for everyone to enjoy!
Senior luncheon
We had our very first Senior Luncheon at the Brooke House, and it was a huge success! Thirty-seven people joined us for an afternoon filled with laughter, great conversation, and delicious food from Squam Marketplace. Everyone had such a wonderful time—we can’t wait for the next one!
