Thursday, August 31, 2017- Trip to Goodspeed Opera House to watch “Oklahoma”

First, enjoy a delicious lunch at the Olive Garden (lunch on your own).  Following lunch, a short ride will bring you to the beautiful Goodspeed Opera House for the delightful musical Oklahoma!  Set along the tranquil Connecticut River, the Goodspeed Opera House was built in 1876 by William Goodspeed.  This intimate theater brings you closer to the excitement of live musicals and will delight, inspire and entertain you with their shows!

Oklahoma ~ The Rodgers & Hammerstein classic that changed American musicals forever dawns at Goodspeed for the very first time.  Cowboy Curly and farm girl Laurey are taking their sweet time falling in love. Can these stubborn romantics admit their feelings before it’s too late?  Passion, laughter and high-kicking choreography blossom in a land where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain.  A legendary score—including “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “The Surrey With the Fringe on Top” and the rousing title tune “Oklahoma”—will put you in a brand new state!

This trip will be using the Senior Center bus for transportation.
You are responsible to find your own ride to the Senior Center before and after the trip.
COST: $65 per person  includes Oklahoma side orchestra ticket and transportation.
Lunch is on your own.  Limited tickets available.

2017 Membership Renewal time!

A Message from Mike: Once again it is Membership Renewal time!

Yearly Membership runs from July 1st – June 30th

I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone to make sure they do the following:

  1. Make sure you are a registered Member of the Senior Center if you are taking part in any activities. This includes using our Hairdresser, Massage Therapy, transportation, all classes and programs.
  2. If you are registered, please update your information (address, phone number, emergency contact, etc.) with your Membership renewal or as it changes throughout the year.

Obtain a SCAN CARD, if you don’t already have one.  PLEASE USE IT.  If you are unsure how to use it, see a staff member and we will gladly show you.  The statistics are very vital to maintain what we offer by showing usage of our classes, programs and services.

NEW THIS YEAR

Following the structure of many other cities and towns, we are initiating a differential for in-town Membership compared to out-of-town Membership.

In-Town Membership will remain a suggested $25.00 per year

Out-of-Town Membership will increase to $40.00 per year 

We will continue to have the same policy regarding preference for in-town Members first when there is limited registration or space in programs and trips.
