PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Brookwood Residents, First, I want to say how much I’m looking forward to the months ahead as your new President, and thank you all for voting me in. I’m excited to work with the Board as we do our best to make Brookwood Park the place to be.

We’re excited to be bringing back themed dinners. Additionally, these activities will continue: Social Hour, Scrabble, Game Night, and Bingo—there’s a little something for everyone. In the months to come we will reveal more about the themed dinners and other events.

Other activities include Hooks & Needles, Tai Chi, Poker Palace, and, last but not least, the world-famous pool parties.

We also want to welcome—and especially encourage—our new residents of Brookwood to join us in any or all in these activities; we’d love to meet you.

Please remember that summer is here, more people are out walking, whether with dogs, grandkids or on their own, please be mindful of this and slow down when coming in or out of the park.

Mark Gonzales Brookwood Social Club President

JOIN THE BROOKWOOD SOCIAL CLUB It’s that time of the year where we hold our annual Brookwood Social Club membership drive.

Dues are $10 per person, per year and your membership runs from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027.

Your membership not only gives you discounts for Social Club dinners and brunches, but also helps to pay for our newsletters, resident directories, kitchen and clubhouse supplies, and any other related expenses that the Social Club incurs when offering events at the clubhouse that are not dinner/brunch related.

NOTE: This is for brand new memberships AND membership renewals. We see many folks drop off the list because they forget to renew. You need to renew every year.

A CALL FOR BROOKWOOD RESIDENTS DIRECTORY UPDATES Have you checked your Brookwood Residents Directory lately? Please take a moment to check your copy to see if any of your information needs updating, and if it does, let Gina Drummond know via email at ginadrummond@gmail.com by June 15th.

The resident directory is only updated and published once per year so if you have changes throughout the year, you should always notify Gina so she can keep a master list that will be up-to-date. Those changes that come to her are also mentioned in our monthly Brookwood newsletters so that all neighbors can manually update their own copy of the resident directory until the next year’s update comes out. *The resident directory is provided to you courtesy of the Brookwood Social Club.

If you would like to be a Brookwood Social Club member, see the Membership Dues form on the next page.

BROOKWOOD SOCIAL CLUB MEMBERSHIP The purpose of the Brookwood Social Club is to provide a medium of entertainment and recreation for the members; promote and encourage good fellowship among the members; take an active interest in humanitarian, civic affairs, and the general wellbeing of all Brookwood Park residents.

Our annual membership drive is on. Dues are $10 per person and are due on June 1st, the beginning of the Social Club’s fiscal year. Your current membership has a 30-day grace period and will remain in effect through June 30. You must be a Social Club member to vote, to be a Board member, and to receive the discounted price on brunches and dinners.

We are always looking for new ways to meet the needs of our members. We encourage your participation and look forward to hearing your ideas for new activities, and/or suggestions for improvement on our current activities. See the monthly newsletter for information on the current activities.

Please complete the membership form below. Forms are also available in the clubhouse lobby. Don't forget to include the month and day of your birthday(s) and anniversary so that we may celebrate you in the newsletter.

Make checks payable to Brookwood Social Club, then place this form and your check in the Social Club box across from the kitchen.

PLEASE HELP US TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU Our Monthly Newsletter and annual Residents Directory are printed material paid for and produced by the Brookwood Social Club and distributed to all residents, whether you’re a Social Club member or not. Newsletters are written one month ahead of time, due to the lead time needed for printing and distribution. Often things change and information needs to be communicated in a timelier manner.
