Club 55 has been very active this spring
with making donations to organizations
in town. The club donated $500 to the
As Time Goes By Swing Band, $500 to
the VFW for Memorial Day events and
flags, $500 to Recreation’s Inclusion
Program, $1000 to the DARE program,
and $1000 to the Submarine Veterans
Memorial East located in the City of
Groton. The Club also gave four $500
Achievement Awards to Groton High
School seniors Noelle Butler and
Katherine Fairbank, who attended
Fitch High School, Sophia Nelson
who attended St. Bernard High School
and Geralson Withrow who attended
Ledyard High School. The club holds
fundraisers during the year to support
programs throughout the town
each year. The club also donated
$100 to an East Lyme High School
senior who developed a 30 second
public service announcement on the
Senior Center now airing on Channel
2, Town of Groton’s Cable access
channel. Victoria is planning to go on
to college for communications.
The club is now having its
membership drive. Your $5 annual
membership not only funds special
events for seniors and club members
but helps provide the generous gifts
above.
