            [post_content] => It is Election Time in Brookline!

Come to a candidates forum on Wednesday, April 2 at 7pm at Temple Sinai, 50 Sewall Avenue, Brookline.

On May 6, there is an election for a vacant seat on the 5-member Brookline Select Board, and there are three candidates to choose from. They represent different approaches to the issues we all care about – housing, schools, seniors, taking care of our vulnerable citizens – it’s an important choice for the future of the Town.

United Parish is joining with the four other GBIO Brookline congregations – Temple Israel, St Paul’s Episcopal, Temple Sinai, and Temple Beth Zion – in sponsoring a candidates forum, where you can hear them speak to the issues. Rev. Kent will be one of the three clergy leaders moderating the forum.



Click here to register.

This is a really important election. Hope to see you there.

Contact gbio@upbrookline.org.
