The Forum | All Are Welcome

Then they said to him, "John's

disciples, like the disciples of

the Pharisees, frequently fast

and pray, but your disciples eat

and drink." Jesus said to them,

"You cannot make wedding

guests fast while the bride-

groom is with them, can you?

The days will come when the

bridegroom will be taken away

from them, and then they will

fast in those days."

—Luke 5:33

Preparing for the Fall “Philanthropy Train”

Above: Grand Marshall of the Brewster Fall Parade was Ruth Lawson. Bryan McDaniel, COO, served as her driver in this sporty red convertible. A great time was had by all! Right: Rosemary Stover was one of many Brewster residents, staff and friends decked out in hat and sunglasses who watched the parade. We had a beautiful day and look forward to next year’s parade!

Everybody LOVES a Parade!

Above: Carlos Mora and his daughter dressed in perfect fall attire — pilgrims! They had a great time waving to everyone who passed by. They also handed out treats!

“Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens.” -Maria von T rapp
