What is REC All About?

We are a non-profit organization that is dedicated to making a ten mile paved bike path from Danbury to New Milford and a recreation center with more playing fields, hiking fields, walking trails and possibly a aquatic facility a reality. The purpose of our organization is exactly what our name implies; to work for the enhancement of recreational opportunities in Brookfield. Our group consists of hard working volunteers, none of whom receive any compensation. Working with already established organizations throughout town, we already have been pursuing some of the above since January 2001.

What exactly do we do? We are lobbyists and fund raisers. We research grant opportunities, prepare business plans, commission engineering studies, and publicize our plans and goals to the citizens of Brookfield.

But in order to accomplish the above we need your help. Our activities require funding for the approved bike path, survey fees for the recreational needs in the community, and hopefully in the near future construction of a town recreation/teen/aquatic center.

If you are interested in getting involved in any way, your help will be greatly appreciated. Some of our fundraising ideas include a Battle of the Bands, a Carnival, raffles, an auction, a baseball clinic and others. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. If you can not make the meetings, but would like to help in any way, including making copies, distributing flyers, help with selling raffle tickets or tickets to our events, please contact us.

If you can not help in any of the above ways, but would like to help financially, you can mail your tax deductible donation to the Recreation Enhancement Council, P.O. Box 5050, Brookfield CT 06804.
