Dog Care & Play Facility Offers An Open House To Introduce A New Business Run By 2 Young Entrepreneurs
East Bridgewater residents Brooke & Sarah are twin sisters who both have a strong passion and dream of working with dogs; are talented, energetic, hardworking, and both have special needs. Their dream is about to come true as they announce an Open House of their new business venture Two Sisters Canine Playtime. Located at their
home in East Bridgewater, they will offer a unique, personalized daytime option for dogs to socialize and play while their owners take care of business, errands or just need a break.
Taking place at 990 Washington Street, East Bridgewater on Monday, August 17th from 4-6pm, the Open House will provide an opportunity for potential customers to check out their newly designed and welcoming dog care and play facility as well as a ceremony to thank all of the individuals and organizations that have supported their efforts and helped Brooke & Sarah to reach their dreams.
The public is welcome to attend but must RSVP to Debbie Tuton (401) 529-0462 or
[email protected]. Our furry friends are asked to sit this one out, however, there will be a signup sheet for dogs to come visit at other times in August where they can have the full attention of the Dog Care Specialists Brooke & Sarah.
MERGE Diverse Abilities Inclusion Consulting provides expert coaching and training for those wishing to create more inclusive communities where people with diverse abilities are valued members of our community. Lisa Drennan of MERGE has been working with Brooke & Sarah to provide business coaching and support around cultivating the skills necessary for Brooke & Sarah to open and start their business.

The Bridgewater Brick Company
Our clay filled soil was once part of a large industry in East Bridgewater. "The Bridgewater Brick Company...had a capacity of 120,000 bricks a day by 1915 and boasted that the company produced the 'hardest common brick manufactured in New England.'
The plant, which stood on Spring Street opposite Park Avenue, covered more than 130 acres."

By Sasha Rockwell When my Junior year at Bridgewater State University started in the Fall of 2019, I knew it was the perfect time to take advantage of learning opportunities on and off-campus. But I didn't expect it to go the way it did.

"Bee" Kind, East Bridgewater!
Jules Teresa has been living in East Bridgewater for about 6 months now and her and her family have never been happier! They live in such a welcoming neighborhood— one of their amazing neighbors have the most generous and kind grandkids, who went out of their way to make this beautiful & inspirational decor for them!
They wanted everyone to know that they are so incredibly grateful to be apart of this community. But they are even more grateful at the impact these, and all children can have on this world.
"I urge you to notice what you say and do around kids, especially with all that what is going on in the world today, because they are more observant and aware than we know. And more importantly... let’s listen to our children because they can shed some light into darkness and they just may be the inspiration this world needs." - Jules
What wonderful, thoughtful children and neighbors this community has!

Your Beautiful Imagination
I am convinced compassion, love, and a healthy dose of imagination will get us through. When we create together, we dream together and we emerge better and healthier people.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” ~Albert Einstein
“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.” ~ Gloria Steinem
“If you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere, and it can do anything.” ~ Alice Walker
“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” ~ Mark Twain
|
I hope you have time to breath, let go of that tension and unleash your imagination. It's the beginning of something beautiful!
~ Jacquie
