On behalf of the entire Senior Center staff, I would like to personally wish all of you great health and happiness for this holiday season.  2020 hasn’t been the most kind to us, but in times of trials and tribulations we can only persevere as we have no other choice.  We must fill our hearts and minds with positive thoughts ONLY and if we can do that, we WIN.

We all look forward to 2021 with clear vision, thoughts of better times ahead and if there’s one thing good to come from 2020, it will be our appreciation for the small things.

We know that we appreciate all of you for your continued support of us and the Senior Center in general.  We look forward to a time in 2021 when we see our buses drive up full of our members, our exercise classes hooting and hollering, people enjoying one another’s company over lunch at the center.  We cannot wait to see a motor coach leaving our parking lot for a trip to Boston or New York and people gathering for a game of cards.

We are turning our focus to a great 2021 and we hope you do the same.  As we’ve stated all along, if we can be of any assistance to you, please call us.  We are here to help.

Again, Happy Holidays to you all, we miss you and love you.

With utmost respect and love,

Mike, Hilary, Carolyn, Melissa, Shirley, Debbi and Lorie
