If you are not feeling well, please stay home until you are symptom free!

You will be helping other Senior Center members as well as the Senior Center staff stay healthy by keeping out of the Senior Center and staying home until you are feeling better.

By taking some time away from the Senior Center, seeing your physician and resting, you will hopefully improve your health and get better faster while helping to maintain the health of others.

Thank you for doing your part and staying home if you are not feeling well!

Happy New Year Everyone!  I would like to thank everyone who participated in events, took classes and went on trips with the Rose City Senior Center in 2019.  With your participation, it was a fantastic year!  Now that 2020 is upon us, we look forward to continue offering affordable trips, great classes and interesting programs.  Hopefully this will offer something for everyone looking for a little “adventure”!

This year will bring some changes with upcoming trips.  I will be using a new bus company for future coach bus trips.  As always, I will try to keep costs down but switching to a new bus company will likely increase prices.  Please bear with me as I try to find the most affordable company to work with.

As I continue to plan for 2020, I would like your input!  If you have a suggestion for a trip or if you have been on a prior trip and would be interesting in repeating it, please let me know!  You can drop off your ideas at the Reception desk or in the comment box located outside of the Pool Room.

Thank you to everyone for your participation!    Hilary Sandberg, Program Administrator

Congratulations to Cathie Ballard who won the beautiful afghan that was raffled off in November.  The crocheted afghan, in shades of green, was made and donated by a very talented Rose City Senior Center member.

Thank you Eva for the donation and to everyone who purchased raffle tickets.

Norwich Human Services and Norwich Youth and Family Services are seeking individuals and organizations that are willing to adopt one or more families for our “Adopt-A-Family” program this Holiday season.  All Families are from the Norwich area, have been screened by a case manager, are known to be in need and most are living below the poverty level.

Thanks to the kind and generous support in the past by individuals and organizations such as you, we are able to make holidays more joyful for many young children in the community.  If you or your organization would be willing to adopt at least one family, we would greatly appreciate your support.

You may contact us at (860) 823-3778 or by email at krosedale@cityofnorwich.org

Please indicate the family size you would be willing to sponsor.  You or your organization will then be sent information about a family in need.  The information will include the first names, ages, sizes and special interests of each family member.

Please consider sharing this request with your family and friends to help us identify new sponsors.

Thank you!  Your kindness will not be forgotten.

The staff at Norwich Human Services
