Wednesday, August 31st
Noon-2:00 p.m.

After working for the City of Norwich for the past 21 years, 13 being with the Rose City Senior Center, Anne is retiring.  Anne has been a very dedicated member of the Senior Center team as our Office Coordinator and handled such tasks as payroll, the VOICES monthly newsletter, accounts payable, MED RIDE II scheduling, our website and several other duties that generally go unnoticed by the general public, but have led to many successful programs and services for the Senior Center.  Her hard work, creativeness and dedication to serve the seniors of our community will be greatly missed.

Please join us on Wednesday, August 31st between the hours of Noon and 2pm for some cake and refreshments as we celebrate her Retirement.

Janet Barrett, author of They Called Her Reckless will discuss this true story about a group of U.S. Marines and a Mongolian Pony they named Reckless, August 10th at 1:00pm.  According to Barrett, “This is a true story of war, love and one extraordinary horse.” When the U.S. Marine Fifth Regiment’s Recoilless Rifle Platoon acquired a small pony to haul ammunition up the steep hills to the front lines, what they got was a real life hero, Reckless, the courageous and indomitable warhorse who stood with her buddies for two years during the Korean War, saving many lives, raising spirits, and winning the love and respect of all who knew her.  She was awarded two purple hearts for wounds sustained and became Sargent Reckless.
