SHARE Your Love at Christmas!
The 2022 SHARE ornaments have arrived. This year’s ornament is Veterans Memorial Park. Glynn County Veterans Memorial Park, completed in 2019, is an approximately 3.5 acre green space located at 502 J Street in downtown Brunswick, Georgia. It starts with an archway entrance with the "ALL GAVE SOME - SOME GAVE ALL". There are a handful of benches throughout and a number of tables with chairs for picnics. The park's layout is consists of a network of circles/semi-circles with a strong central axis. The complexity of sidewalks provides visitors with a variety of walking trail options while also forming a focal point around the park's 4,500 square feet monument plaza. The monument plaza contains six granite markers representative of each branch of the military and one central granite marker, which pays homage, via engraving, to those Glynn County Veterans who lost their lives while serving. Being the heart of the park, the monument plaza also serves as a stage for speakers and/or musicians during special events. Other components of the Veterans Memorial Park include a new 52-stall parking lot, a 45' granite bridge over a bioswale, a wooden boardwalk with a colonage of palm trees, a large open lawn that can serve as a natural amphitheater, native plant landscaping and four large historic live oak trees. Every purchase directly benefits the programs at Share. The cost is $15 for singles and $12 each for quantities over 25. If you would like to purchase an ornament please call SHARE at (912) 264-3141. There is a $1 per ornament shipping and handling charge if you would like it mailed. See past ornaments here |

DEAR Summer Program Recap
In studying sea life, the clients learned many interesting facts. One of these facts was that in 1879 the famous poet, Sidney Lanier, was inspired to write "The Marshes of Glynn" after a visit to Glynn County. With the help of Cate Williams of the Department of Natural Resources, the clients learned about local marine life and about the wetlands and the salt marshes and the many benefits they provide for the area such as the rich harvest of shrimp, blue crab, and oysters.
Debbie Brewster with Creative Corners of Nahunta also met with the clients. She talked about the plants that grow in the marsh and animals that live in the marsh. The clients made nature stampings on air dry day.
The clients watched videos on YouTube about the ocean, tides, and marine life and their effect on the area. They learned that wetlands are critical to humans as habitats for commercially-important fish and shellfish species, and as habitats for hunted waterfowl. The wetlands also provide recreating areas for boaters, hunters, and fishers. The clients made sea life necklaces. They were beautiful and the clients proudly took them home with them.
The clients also studied safety. They discussed safety in the home, safety outside, safety at work, safety in the community, and physical and mental safety. They talked of ways to cultivate a safer environment. The use of smoke detectors, home security systems, and fire extinguishers are ways to reduce common hazards. They also discussed kitchen safety and medicine safety tips. Physical safety is also important. The staff provides an emotionally safe environment through experiences that enable the clients to feel safe to express emotions, and give them confidence to try new things. The City of Brunswick Police and the Brunswick Fire Department came to SHARE and told the clients of some of their duties. The fun part was that they let the clients sit in the firetruck and the police car and allowed them to blow the siren. The clients are aware that their safety is the first priority of the staff of SHARE.
