Membership Renewal
Membership Renewal
Membership renewal in normally due starting July 1st. Since the Senior Center is still closed to the public until further notice, we are accepting renewals by mail only at this point.
We have already begun receiving renewals from some of our current Members. If you are not currently using any of our services and would prefer to wait until we reopen to renew your Membership, that is fine and we understand. If you are currently using one of our services (such as Transportation) we ask that you renew at this time.
For those of you who would like to pay your Membership dues now, please fill out the Membership Form on the adjacent page and mail it in with your payment. You can also call and pay over the phone with a credit card. Filling out the Membership Form is important for us to make sure we have all of your up-to-date information, including correct emergency contact information. If you call to pay over the phone, please go over your information with us or still mail in the completed Membership Form.
As a reminder, Membership dues paid to the Senior Center go directly towards providing services, programs, classes, activities and events. They help us pay instructors for different classes we offer and provide needed supplies for different senior center groups. Money we receive from dues stays with the Senior Center and does not go into the City of Norwich’s general fund. The Senior Center controls how and when we use the money in order to provide you with the best services.
We appreciate all the donations and Memberships that we receive in order for us
to bring you as much as we can. Thank you!
