Our monthly food distribution will continue during November. We plan on
distributing the food on Friday, November 5th between the hours of 10:00 –
11:00 a.m. Unfortunately, some individuals confuse the advertised time of the
distribution and arrive much later in the day for food. We close at 11:00 a.m. If
you arrive at 11:30 or 12:00, the food has been packed up and sent back to
Norwich. We are most appreciative for the continued efforts of United
Community & Family Services extraordinary dedication to this valuable service for
our community. They also have co-sponsors for each distribution which is held.
Many banking institutions such as Charter Oak, Dime Bank, Core Plus Credit Union
are instrumental in making this process happen. Thanks to all!
Special thanks are extended to the volunteers that helped make our Annual
Flu & Pneumonia Clinic such a success. They include Jean and Morris Fishbone,
Mary Lou Jensen, Peter Liebert, Dennis Wolter and Amy Brosnan. Our senior
center staff kept paperwork flowing smoothly (Maureen) and the refreshment
table was manned flawlessly (Cathy). Great team work!! A word of gratitude goes
out to each and every individual that supported our Annual Flu Clinic. Everyone
was most gracious and extended many compliments for our efforts to provide a
clinic in our local area.
