The purpose of the Brookhaven Retired Employees’ Association (BREA) is to further retiree interests and benefits; to build closer community ties between Brookhaven National Laboratory and its neighbors; to publish a newsletter providing communication with retired employees and to encourage activities for social interaction in the retirement community.

Stay in touch with the Lab

We encourage retirees to keep up with what’s happening at the Lab by signing up to receive the Brookhaven This Week email that’s distributed every Friday. We prefer you sign up for yourself rather than receiving a forwarded copy so that we can better assess how many people we’re reaching. You can sign up by visiting the Brookhaven This Week webpage.  

Retirees are welcome to sign up to receive the Lab’s classified ads each week from BREA. We email all the ads and services every weekend to a list we maintain. Retirees can sign up to receive the classified ads by emailing Adam Merone at amerone@bnl.gov and including “Classified Ads” in the subject line.

In Memoriam

We maintain a webpage where BNL family, friends and colleagues may send their memories of life experiences, contributions, and achievements of BNL retirees or employees who have recently passed. Each submitted obituary will be briefly summarized in the next issue of BREA News, along with a link to this page, where the full submission will be found. See remembrances.
