Resident Programs

Afternoon Tea

Families, friends and neighbors are welcome at most events sponsored by The Brighton's Resident Outreach Committee. A group of residents, Board members and a staff member meet monthly to discuss issues of interest to residents and to plan events and activities. Our Resident Outreach coordinator is glad to hear suggestions for meaningful and enjoyable events.

Ongoing Programs:

Potlucks, parties, holiday celebrations, meetings and discussions, crafting, movies, Bible study, health educationals, cooking parties, field trips, coffee hours, game nights...

Residents are encouraged to participate in monthly Resident Outreach Committee meetings, and to help make their own favorite activites happen!

TALK TIME -- CONVERSATION & PRACTICAL LEARNING FOR NEW ENGLISH SPEAKERS Class is held two days a week in the mornings. Our students are primarily East African, but may hail from all over the world. VOLUNTEERS ARE WELCOME to support our students with one-on-one assistance. Please call Deb at 206-722-3922, if you would like to help! Training may be available for committed volunteers.

P-Patch Gardens 24 raised beds are available on a first-come, first-served basis in our beautiful P-Patch garden. Last year's gardeners get first pick, but there are enough plots to go around, and it's a lovely place to visit.
