Lisbon Senior Center Shooting Starts Meeting Wednesday, June 8th at noon

Posted on May 31, 2022 by Lisbon

About Shooting Stars… Shooting Stars has been an integral part of the Lisbon Senior Center since the 1980’s. It pays for all the entertainers, subsidizes our annual holiday meal, sponsors all trips, and has helped pay for upgrades to the senior center. It provides us with the extra “fun and items” for all of us.

Shooting Stars meetings run on the second Wednesday of every month at noon. 

In order to keep Shooting Stars as a business entity with the State of Connecticut and a non-profit with the IRS, we must have a slate of officers. As of June 20, 2022 we have 2 positions with a nomination for each which must now be voted into office.

Please make every effort to attend the meeting on Wednesday, June 8th at noon
