BENEFITS at Groton Senior Center
We have A LOT of fun here but we also have a serious side and provide many useful benefits to our Groton Seniors. Here is an overview.
Happy Retirement Anne Barriere!
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.
