Brooks previews Open Prayer Spaces walk and 115th celebration projects, receives restored school sign
Summary
Residents and volunteers in Brooks announced an interfaith Open Prayer Spaces Walk for March 9 and showcased a Brooksopoly fundraising board for the town's 115th celebration; Bishop Watts gifted a repainted Brooks District School sign and Mayor Langford sang the school song.
The Brooks Town Council heard several community announcements on Feb. 24, including an Open Prayer Spaces Walk and updates on the town’s 115th celebration.
Stephanie Griffin described the Open Prayer Spaces Walk scheduled for Sunday, March 9, 2025, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., beginning at the Brooks Station Mural; she said participants from Tyrone, Peachtree City and Fayetteville are expected, the one-mile family-friendly route will include four areas of prayer (leadership, schools and teachers, families and community), and "delicious cookies will be available."
Bishop Watts updated the council on the Brooks Municipal Flag contest (15 submissions) and Jennifer Robinson circulated a mockup of a Brooksopoly board game. Clerk Lorey Spohr said manufacturing costs for the board have been covered and proceeds beyond manufacturing will support the celebration and future town projects.
Later in the meeting, Bishop Watts presented the town with a newly repainted Brooks District School sign as a gift. Mayor Daniel Langford performed the Brooks District School song; Council Member Ted Britt commented he remembered singing it in 1960. The council offered unanimous thanks and no formal action was required.
