Thanks to the generosity of several organizations, we now have a new permanent flagpole and garden area for our football/softball facility.
The Ontario Legion, Wilton Legion, Norwalk Legion, Wilton Legion Auxiliary, Falcon Booster Club, and the Brookwood Athletic Department all joined in to help fund this project.
We invite all American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary members to join us here at Brookwood for the official dedication of the flagpole on Friday, Sept. 11, when we’ll host Cashton. All American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary members will be admitted free.
SAFETY PATROL FUNDRAISER
