It Takes a Village - Moving Day at Brookwood Community

 
What a way to start a Thursday morning!!!
If you have not heard....Anderson home is no longer a women's home it
is a men's home.  Weekly home is no longer a men's home it is
a women's home.  The moving team moved 12 rooms from one home
to another home.  Moving team included Home Teachers', Maintenance Dept,
Administrators, and Volunteers.  What an incredible day of team building and spirit!!!

INTERDEPENDENCE

Carrie Brock demonstrating one of Brookwood Community Core Value
 
INTERDEPENDENCE
 
We believe that INTERDEPENDENCE is our mutual reliance upon and need for one another.
INTERDEPENDENCE develops when two or more of us appreciate and relay on each other's strengths, and are mutually responsible for one an other's limitations.  INTERDEPENDENCE is a unique strength of our community based on the understanding that "when we win, I win".
INTERDEPENDENCE relies upon sharing, openness, acceptance, support and personal wholeness.
