THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY
Brooktondale Community Center
A VIBRANT SOCIAL CENTER FOR MORE THAN SIX DECADES
Located in Brooktondale, NY, the Brooktondale Community Center (BCC), serves residents of Brooktondale and the surrounding Town of Caroline.
During normal, non-pandemic times the BCC hosts many volunteer-led social, recreational, educational, and charitable activities.
LIGHT UP BROOKTONDALE
2025
December 21st is Winter Solstice, the shortest night of the year in your favorite hamlet. Imagine that as the sun sets, candles lining the streets illuminate, bringing warmth to the deep, cold darkness.
Join your neighbors in celebrating Brooktondale’s own festival of light by purchasing luminaries to line the street where you live.
Let’s cover Brooktondale with lights, and cover the community center with a new roof at the same time!
A pack of 10 luminaries covers about 50 feet of frontage (space luminaries two adult paces apart) and includes 10 candles, 10 bags, and enough sand to fill the bags.
(You’ll need a container to scoop the sand, and a lighter - a long-handled lighter is recommended.)
SUGGESTED DONATION:
$20/10-pack or pay what you wish.
All donations go directly to the Brooktondale Community Center’s
Raise The Roof Fund.
Luminary supplies are being covered by a generous donor
Please order no later than Thursday 12/18/25 so we know how many kits to put together.

Help Us Save Our Community Center
Support the BCC Roof Fund
We urgently need your support to replace the roof of the Brooktondale Community Center's main building. The cost is $60,000 and we have reached $20,000 thanks to our generous community. We need $40,000 more to ensure the BCC remains open to our community. Your donation will help us keep the building available for rentals, events, and public activities.
Join us in preserving this vital community space. Every contribution helps!

Dogs Must be On Leash at the BCC
Brooktondale residents who walk your dogs at the Community Center: please be aware that all dogs are supposed to be kept on a leash at all times while at the Center! We are not a dog park and do not allow dogs to run free! There are reported incidents of dogs attacking pets on adjacent properties because the dogs are not kept under control. If this continues, we may have to ban all animals from the premises! Please respect our neighbors and other BCC users.
