The Sunset Club is going to lend a hand at Brookwood Florida, an accredited and licensed therapeutic group home for 50 adolescent girls (ages 13-18) right here in St. Petersburg. We will be painting the fence that surrounds their campus, which is a BIG job so we can use lots of volunteers!

We had a nice turnout and a great time building a fence at Brookwood Florida this morning! Eight Sunset Club members worked together digging post holes, sawing panels, drilling brackets and erecting a new PVC fence around some air conditioning units next to the main building on the campus. Materials for the project were provided by the Rotary Club of St. Petersburg. There was lots of fun and lots of laughs among the crew, and we look forward to finding other ways to lend a hand at Brookwood.

Job well done!

The Sunset Club is teaming up with our sponsor club, Rotary Club of St. Petersburg, to build a security fence at Brookwood Florida tomorrow morning! We will be start around 8:00am in hopes to be done by 12:00pm. The address for Brookwood is 901 Seventh Avenue South St. Petersburg, FL 33705. The project manager at Brookwood is taking down the previous fence and should have all of the materials we need for the project when we arrive, however he did suggest that if we have the following tools that we bring them:

It is also recommended that each volunteer bring water and a snack. It may be hot and we don’t want anyone to dehydrate.

See you there!

Twelve club members and guests participated as volunteers for the Special Olympics service project. The Sunset Club volunteers ran the bocce games, with duties including scorekeeping, measuring, cheerleading, and running. It was a fun and meaningful service opportunity. In the words of member and volunteer, Stephanie Cox, “By the end of the day, it was easy to feel like we had won something as volunteers even though we didn’t actually compete. We had won an experience where we witnessed sports as they should be; games of pure unadulterated fun.”
