Millbrook at Home an exploration into the “aging in place” movement

Thanks to everyone who completed the needs assessment survey that was sent out to 1,800 residents

in the Town of Washington last month. This was an attempt by our four main churches in the Millbrook

area to get a sense of how our senior community is doing and anticipated needs as we move towards

creating an independent 501 c3 charitable organization.

We plan to have monthly meetings and increase our visibility as spring allows more engagement and

events. We are hoping to create a regular FIRST FRIDAY of the month local gathering and expand our

mailing list and update an events calendar. This will begin May 4th at 12 noon.

In the meantime, please come to GRACE CHURCH for a wine and cheese mixer and a report on the

findings of the survey. We will gather at the Rectory at 7pm on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28th. We hope to

announce some important findings and seek your support in finding ways to meet these unmet needs.

for $5. A good assortment of styles and sizes is still available— women’s, men’s and children’s. And while you

are in the shop, be sure to look at the spring clothing we are beginning to put out, all at bargain prices. As you

begin taking out and sorting through your own spring and summer clothing, don’t forget that Uncle Al’s can

accept donations whenever the shop is open (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10:00am-4:00pm).

Welcome to our new volunteers! It takes a lot of us to keep the shop running smoothly, and your willingness to
