Saturday, August 16th, we hosted our second All Ages Talent Show, where a supportive and caring audience welcomed beginner and experienced talents of all ages, sang along, clapped effusively, and enjoyed learning a little more about each other’s talents. Saskia, from our Ethics for Children program, was the Master of Ceremonies and demonstrated her own talents by running the event with kindness, humor, and a supportive and welcoming spirit. We hope you will join us next time for this fun event! 
Thank you to all who helped make it happen, especially Angel and Damon, who organized the show!

Last Saturday, we joined FOFA (Forth on Fourth Ave) and the Park Slope Civic Council for a day of cleaning 4th Avenue and planting in tree beds. We also collected food and diaper donations for Camp Friendship, which distributes food each week to over 500 households in need, including food deliveries to homebound seniors. 
Thanks to a grant from the American Humanist Association, we also offered refreshments to all who came to Brooklyn Ethical for a break and to refuel.
It was fun, multigenerational service day, and our avenue looks even more lovely thanks to all the volunteers!

Last Thursday, we enjoyed another All Ages Movie Night, with old and new friends. There were snacks to share, and even some music making and dancing after the movie was over. We can;t wait until the next one!

For our April service day the Ethics for Children program participated in a Spring Garden Work Day at the Brooklyn’s Finest Community Garden (48 Lefferts Place). We helped remove an old brick walkway and lay stones for a new one, prepared raised beds, put up a border fence and even learned about rat mitigation techniques! The garden members were very welcoming and made us promise to stop in again to see how the garden grows throughout the season.

The Children’s Ethics program hosted some of the elder members of BSEC for one-on-one interviews with the kids. The intergenerational gathering was an opportunity for students to get to know people they often see during the transition between their program and the platform on Sundays. It also served to deepen the connections within our community.
