The Senior Club will not be collecting dues for the 2021 calendar year. We will begin taking dues again for the 2022 year beginning in November.
We look forward to meetings starting up again in the Fall and seeing everyone back at the Center. 2022 dues will remain at the $10.00 annually.

What REALLY is the menu? Baked Cod or Oven Fried Chicken Legs onion rings and creamed spinach and side salad.
Some prevention tips to stay safe in extreme heat include:
Stay Cool: Keep your body temperature cool to avoid heat-related illness
Stay Hydrated: Because your body loses fluids through sweat, you can become dehydrated during times of extreme heat
Come on in! For those 55 and older, we offer FREE technology help weekday mornings.
For bigger jobs, we can also schedule you an appointment with one of amazing technology volunteers. To schedule, you can call 860-445-1057. At this time, please note- face masks are mandatory for ALL in our center.
We believe in what we do. We all have thought something like this in the past. We have all been very convinced on one issue or another. We then surround ourselves with likeminded people.
Together our voice grows stronger. Ideas flourish. Paths and networks expand. We can do all of this in a very serious way, over very serious issues but we can also do this with laughter and create a better world in a good way.
Laughing is a very healthy thing to do. Laughter is actually a physical reaction consisting usually of rhythmical, often contractions of the diaphragm and other parts of the respiratory system. It is a response to certain external or internal stimuli according to Wikipedia.
Did you know there is even a National Let’s Laugh Day? It’s March 19th and we can laugh about the fact that I missed it by a few months!
Life can be hard. Things happen to us and around us that we don’t understand. We can hit low spots. But we need to move forward. We need to look for what makes us smile. It could be a puppy, a baby, a joke, or a movie. But once we can smile it’s easier to laugh. So go watch a funny movie!
When you laugh it lowers your stress hormone. You can burn up to 40 calories with a good 15-minute belly laugh. Your abs get a workout. Laughing can be better for you than a cup of coffee. One minute of laughter boosts your immune system for 24 hours. 15 minutes of laughing equals the benefits of 2 hours of sleep. So, here’s a question – if I’m awake during the night for a few hours I only need to laugh about it and I’m good???
The average man smiles an average of 8 times a day. The average woman smiles 62 times a day. Babies smile an average of 200 times a day. So, now lets all be babies!!! At least for part of the day.
I once attend a laughter yoga class and they tell you “Fake it till you make it!” If you force yourself to laugh and to keep laughing before you know it the laugh becomes real, and it feels good. Try it and you’ll have a better day!!
Why do giraffes have long necks?
Because they have smelly feet.
What goes tick-tock and woof-woof?
A watchdog
What are the two things you can’t have for breakfast?
Lunch and dinner
Why is a bad joke like a pencil?
Because it has no point
Why isn’t there a clock in the library?
Because it tocks too much
Did I make you giggle, chuckle, belly laugh????
I hope so. Have a better day!
