Greetings!
First, happy New Years to you and your loved ones from all of us! Brooklyn Recreation had a pretty good year and turnout to our events.
Walk Down Memory Lane… A Look Back at 2014
- Expanded the Get Fit Program classes to hold weekly classes of different types of Yoga and Zumba
- Attendance at the Dime-A-Dip and the Craft Fair were great and many complements!
- Rec Run had a another successful run/walk
- 4th of July fire Works and the music rocked Brooklyn and the crowds loved it!
- Summer Youth Recreation and an awesome session as well. Did you know in just six weeks there was over seven hundred photos taken! yes 700! And just what did we do with them? created a DVD slideshow for each week and passed them out as a surprise during the session ending picnic to all the awesome kids that attended.
- In the last quarter of 2014 we added several new members to our crew as well as the departure of others. We’re excited to have them join and look forward to hearing their ideas for events and classes.
The crew has been pretty busy with gearing up for another fun year and events that are upcoming (Below you will see just a few of the events coming).
First we have some news to share about the changes in our Get Fit Program’s Classes that started this past week. If you have been following us on Facebook you will already be aware of the changes. These changes are in an effort to shake things up and offer new classes. So let’s get to it! For full ddescriptions check out our site by clicking here. All Classes are held at our Community Building at 102 N. Rutland Ave, Brooklyn, WI. 53521 and punch cards are available or not sure but you want to try a class or two as drop ins are $7/per class.
