Voice Connect ~ Senior Center Robocall

Posted on June 3, 2020 by Norwich

We have recently starting using a new feature through MySeniorCenter called Voice Connect. 

Voice Connect is a robocall which will send out a recorded message to Senior Center Members.  This message can be sent to a select group or to all Senior Center Members who have scanned in over a period of time.  This is just another tool we will be utilizing to get information out to people.

Please be aware that the Senior Center’s phone number, (860) 889-5960, will come up on your caller ID and it will indicate the call is from “City of Norwich”.  This is a legitimate robocall coming from the Senior Center.  The recorded message will be from Mike or Hilary and will be our actual voice not a computerized voice.

You do NOT have to call us back or respond to these robocalls unless otherwise asked to do so in the message or if you have a question.  Our phone number is (860) 889-5960.  Always remember, if you ever receive a suspicious phone call indicating it is from the Senior Center, please let us know!  Be safe!

 

Volunteer Breakfast ~ CANCELLED

Posted on June 3, 2020 by Norwich

At this time we have decided not to have a Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast this year due to the ongoing COVID-19.  We plan to honor all of our wonderful Senior Center Volunteers in a different way this year in the near future.  We appreciate each and every one of you for all that you do for the Rose City Senior Center, it’s staff and fellow Senior Center Members.

 

Thank You

Thank you to those individuals who gave a donation to the Senior Center in lieu of a refund for their Corned Beef and Cabbage ticket purchase.  The Corned Beef and Cabbage luncheon is one of our fundraisers for the year and we appreciate your kind donation.  With your donation, we raised a little over $500 for the Senior Center to help with future programs and events.

Thank you for helping to support Rose City Senior Center!

Andrea Masisak, Resource Assistant, State Parks Division, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is compiling a history of the old Seaside Sanatorium in Waterford, Ct.. This location is currently a Connecticut State Park. Integral to the history are the experiences/memories of surviving former patients, staff, and anyone familiar with the daily life of Seaside from
1934-1958 when it treated children from throughout Connecticut for tuberculosis. As these people are now up in age, Andrea is reaching out to senior centers across the state for assistance in reaching anyone who is familiar with Seaside Sanatorium during those years. If you are willing to assist Andrea, please contact her at 860-424-3413 or by email: Andrea.Masisak@ct.gov.

UPCOMING DAY TRIPS- CANCELLED

Posted on June 3, 2020 by East Lyme

All day trips through June 2020 have been cancelled
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is highly doubtful any trips will be offered for the summer months. If this changes, we will make an immediate announcement.
Refunds have been processed but might take longer than usual as Town Hall staff are not working their normal hours.

Many of the trips that were slated for the spring/summer/fall of 2020 are being re-scheduled for 2021.
BUT we are always interested in where you want to go.
