The Brooklet Community Development Association is comprised entirely of volunteers and organizes the Annual Brooklet Peanut Festival as well as the Annual Brooklet Christmas Tree Lighting. The committee also supports the Brooklet Garden Club to help with any city beautification projects.
New volunteers are welcome to join the BCDA in its efforts at its meetings, which generally take place the last Monday of each month at 7pm at the Randy Newman Community Center in downtown Brooklet, GA.
This past year, the committee paired with Southeast Bulloch High School and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to install team-based Southeast Bulloch High School State Championship signs coming in to the town of Brooklet.
The committee will update the signs each time the school wins a state championship.
