Club 55 is heading the fundraising for a new LED sign to replace the current Groton Public Library and Groton Senior Center sign at the entrance to the campus. This sign will not only be promoting programs from the senior center and library but will also alert town residents to emergencies and provide emergency information. Donations for the sign can be accepted by Club 55 and will be greatly appreciated.
