September 12, 2025
Hello Glenbrook,
And just like that we are into September.
Thank you for your patience regarding the email issues and the “What’s New” newsletter. With the help of Conrad and Jim we believe it’s been resolved, and you should all be receiving it now with no hiccups. Fingers crossed! As mentioned before if for any reason you don’t get the “What’s New” by Friday afternoon you can always jump over to the Glenbrook website and please let the office know.
I hope you are all doing well, getting back into your schedules as summer winds down. ESL classes started this week, and it was nice to see some familiar faces again!
Have a lovely weekend and be sure to scroll down as there are a lot of announcements!
We also continue to have special guests join us here at Glenbrook. This Sunday, September 14th, we have Victor Shepherd with us, and he will be bringing the message.
Have a great weekend
-Andrea
