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 2016.  With your participation, it was a fantastic year!  Now that 2017 is upon us, I look forward to offering you affordable trips, great classes and interesting programs.  Hopefully this will offer something for everyone looking for a little “adventure”! As I continue to plan for 2017, I would like your input! What would you like to see offered in 2017? Whether it is a trip suggestion, an idea for a speaker or a new class, I welcome your suggestion! You can drop off your ideas at the Reception desk or in the comment box located outside of the Pool Room.  You can also email me your ideas (hsandberg@cityofnorwich.org) or call the Senior Center (860-889-5960) to talk to me. Let’s make 2017 a great New Year! Thanks again! Hilary Sandberg, Program Administrator
