Juneteenth – June 19

Today, we recognize and celebrate Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

This day serves as an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s history, honor the resilience and contributions of African Americans, and celebrate the rich culture, heritage, and achievements that continue to shape our communities.

As we recognize Juneteenth, we encourage all residents to learn, reflect, and celebrate the importance of freedom, equality, and opportunity for all.

Our history matters. Understanding it helps us build a stronger future together.

❤️🖤💚

Brookhaven Community, we need your help!

The Hallie Christine Jackson Butterfly Sanctuary stands as a beautiful place of peace, hope, and nature in our borough, providing a vital home for pollinating species and endangered Monarch butterflies.

As we head into the warmer months, the garden needs some love to clear away debris from the dormant winter season. We are looking for volunteers to come out and help us pull weeds and spruce up the grounds!

🗓 When: This Saturday, June 13th
⏰ Time: 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM
📍 Where: The Hallie Christine Jackson Butterfly Sanctuary (located at the front area of Durkin Field, adjacent to Coebourn Elementary School)

Volunteers' dedication created and maintains this sanctuary. Whether you can stay for the whole two hours or just stop by for a bit, every hand makes a difference in keeping this special community space beautiful.

Bring your gardening gloves and your community spirit! We hope to see you there.

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today, Brookhaven pauses to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason we are able to enjoy the freedoms, safety, and community we hold so close today.

As we spend time with family, attend parades, fire up the grill, or enjoy the unofficial start of summer, let us also take a moment to reflect on those who never made it home…. and the families who carry that sacrifice every day.

Brookhaven is proud to stand together in gratitude, remembrance, and respect.

Please join us in honoring our fallen heroes today. ❤️🤍💙
