WE ARE MOVING…

As of September 30th, we will no longer be using our building to make room for our expansion and renovation. Rest assured that our programming will go on! Starting Monday, October 16th our programs will resume in multiple locations. We can still be reached by phone at (860)434-1605 ext. 240 and by email at seniorcenter@oldlymect.gov. We will have office hours starting October 16th, Monday- Friday from 2-3pm in the American Legion Room at the Old Lyme Town Hall.

Although some locations are still being decided, the programs that have confirmed locations are listed below. Please know that staff and volunteers will be on site to help you find your way. I would like to thank all the various locations for their graciousness in our time of need. Without their hospitality and cooperation, our programs & services would be severely diminished. I would also like to thank our members for their patience and flexibility.

New Pickleball Courts!

By the time you read this, Rose City Senior Center’s Pickleball courts will be in full swing (pardon the pun).  With the generous donation from the Edward and Mary Lord Foundation and matching funds through the American Recovery Plan for neighborhood revitalization, we were able to install two regulation sized courts right here on the grounds of Rose City Senior Center.

► Courts will be for the exclusive use of Senior Center members during our normal business hours (Monday thru Friday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.)

► After 4 p.m. and on the weekends, courts will be open to the general public until 10 p.m.

► Please remember to scan-in prior to using the courts as we’d like to track usage.

► Senior Center members may borrow paddles and balls during hours we are open.

► Courts will be reserved at certain times for Senior Center classes (times will be posted),

otherwise courts are open on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please see Mike if you have any questions.
