Brentwood Community Coalition

• Thursday Nights are family fun nights!  Come to St. Paul's Lutheran Church at 6pm for food and fun. This is a group effort between the Brentwood Village Association, and mainly Sherman and Emerson schools to provide a way for neighbors and friends to get to know each other, discuss neighborhood concerns, and, of course, have fun.

  • • • The evenings start with a community meal followed by a variety of activities that have included nature outings in the park with UW Wildlife Ecology students, a rousing St. Patrick’s Day introduction to violin and Irish Music, an inter- generational Hobby Night with members of North/Eastside Senior Coalition, family game nights and family craft projects, kickball and soccer games and many more fun activities. 

•  The Coalition has also brought in guests to discuss such issues as tenants’ rights, health/nutrition and safety, registration of sex offenders in the neighborhood and more.  Many neighborhood parents met each other for the first time and shared stories and ideas which have helped to build a growing sense of community.  Many kids have made new friends and had fun with others in a larger group setting.  
   What began as a few informal discussions a couple years ago has moved into effective action with over thirty events being held over the last year.
   If you would like to attend the Thursday events, contact David Meyer at 249-3665 or e-mail dma@chorus.com
   And, while many long volunteer hours have been put in to get this worthy project underway, some funding is needed to sustain and grow it.  The Brentwood Community Coalition could use your support.  If possible, please send a tax deductible donation to David Meyer, 2302 Calypso Road, Madison WI, 53704. Checks can be made out to Living in Community, Inc.; make sure to put Brentwood Community Coalition in the memo line.
