The Table is Open!

You can now register for The Longest Table, Brooklyn Heights!  Whether you'd like to host a table of 8 people as a Table Captain, come with a small group, or just show up and meet your neighbors, let us know your are coming! 

The event will take place on Saturday May 16th from 12:30pm - 2:30pm along Remsen Street from Hicks to the Promenade. Keep in mind that aside from table captains, seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to arrive when the event begins at 12:30 to grab your spot. We also welcome creative seating options, so feel free to bring a picnic blanket or beach chairs in case seats fill up.

We are also looking for a few volunteers to staff our check in table.  Please email us if you are interested.

Thank You to our Spring into Service Volunteers

What a great way to spend a rainy Saturday! 

We had to make a few changes to our annual Spring into Service event due to the weather, but volunteers worked hard to fill the community fridge with 200 sandwiches and collect donations for Little Essentials and Brooklyn Book Bodega.  Thank you to the many volunteers who donated, sorted and made sandwiches, to Saint Ann & the Holy Trinity Church for hosting us and a huge thank you to our spring intern, Lucy Sullivan, for managing this event and all the logistical challenges with a constant smile and "can do" attitude!

Shout out to Hillside Dog Park who risked the rain and led a successful morning caring for the dog park, and the many other volunteering opportunities across the borough that were coordinated through Brooklyn Org's volunteer day.

Cadman Park Conservancy's Mulch Fest has been rescheduled to this Sunday, May 3rd from 10am-12pm.  We have rescheduled the tree care event for the following Saturday, May 9th from 10am-12pm where volunteers will be caring for the street trees around Montague Street as well as helping with litter pick up.  Sign up here if you'd like to join.

Remembering Grace Faison

We are saddened to share that longtime Brooklyn Heights resident, Grace Faison, passed away at the impressive age of 101.  Last year, Grace sat down with BHA volunteer and journalist, Andrew Nodell, to share some of her many memories of engaging in our community and contributing to its vitality and warmth. Her wit and memory is on enviable display in this interview. Watch it here.

A celebration of Grace's life will be held at Plymouth Church at 4pm on May 23rd.
