Brookline Building Planning 2026 Kickoff
2026-04-18 09:00 - 11:00 | VT
Open Building Day
Connect, share your ideas, and explore Brookline’s five buildings:
· The Historic Meetinghouse
· The Historic Round Schoolhouse
· The School Building
· The Town Office Building
· The Town Garage
A Selectboard member will be present at each location to show you around. Hope to see you there!
NOTE: This event is part of the Brookline Selectboard’s Building Planning Kickoff. The Town faces a lot of questions concerning building use, especially with the departure of the daycare last fall. To address these questions, Selectboard is forming a Building Use Workgroup to study the Town’s buildings, collect community input, develop and analyze the Town’s options, and report back to the Town. The Workgroup will convene this spring, then spend the next few months researching and writing a report. If appropriate, the town will vote on building use options in the fall.
If you’d like to be considered for the workgroup, please email mdesocio.brooklinevt@gmail.com or sign up at Open Building Day.

Green Up Day

BROOKLINE GREEN UP DAY is Saturday, May 2nd
Join your community and give back to our environment by picking up roadside and public space litter. It is fun, feels great to give and makes a huge impact in the health of our town.
Green Up trash bags are available at the Town Bulletin Boards now and during Town Office hours:

Tuesdays & Thursdays from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, and
Saturday May 2nd from 9:00 am to noon.

Green Up Day – Saturday, May 2nd
On Green Up Day, coffee and snacks will be available at the Town Office. Volunteers are meeting at the Town Office on Saturday morning starting at 9 am with the town map to track what road sections have been claimed by volunteers and what sections still need volunteers – stop by if you are looking for a road assignment.
You don’t have to wait until Green Up Day to begin. Please let one of us know which road section you will be covering so we can avoid redundant efforts and cover as much of the roadsides as possible. Contact information is below. You can also post on Brookline’s Facebook page.
Please leave Green Up trash bags in a visible location by the side of the road or at the end of the road. Or you can drop off the bags at the Town Office between 9 am and noon on Saturday, May 2nd .
Please Stay Safe

TICKS. The ticks are out. Don’t let them get attached!
TRAFFIC. Watch out for traffic, make sure you are visible to drivers.
SHARP OBJECTS. If you find needles, the best practice is to wear gloves, use a tool to pick them up, place them in a thick plastic container that has been labelled “Do Not Recycle,” tape the top shut, and throw them away in the regular trash.

Recyclables & Returnables
If you are interested, you can also separate items for recycling such as:

paper – clean and dry, and
containers (metal, glass, & #1 & #2 plastic) – empty and clean.

Clear trash bags are available at the Town Office for recyclables and returnables.

Kwartetto Mambo Music at BMH
2026-06-06 19:00 | Brookline Meetinghouse, 632 Grassy Brook Road, Brookline, VT, 05345
Saturday, June 6, music will be filling the hall with the Latin Jazz sounds of KWARTETTO MAMBO.
Doors open at 6:30. The group will be playing 2 sets with a short break between. Depending on our weather the Meetinghouse could be cool, so bring a sweater/jacket just in case. Donations always appreciated at the door so we can continue hosting future events. Light refreshments will be available.
Kwartetto Mambo is four composer-performers who dig each other’s music. Imagine the classic Latin piano-bass-congas trio, grooving and rhythmic. Add French horn for a soulful melodic flavor. Now add some inventive contemporary jazz tunes, a little free improvisation and imaginative rearrangements of pop standards. All played by four old lefties with twisted senses of humor.
