AUTOMATED CALLS FROM THE SENIOR CENTER

Posted on October 30, 2019 by Groton

The all call system that is used by GSC has been updated to better serve you. You will now see our Groton Senior Center main phone number come up. That number is 860-441-6785. The center only uses this system for program information (emergency cancellations, center, program and trip information).

 

Our calls are not used to sell anything, advertise any events nor programs and we will not sell your number to a third party. If you block our number, you will not get these notifications. If you need help changing a blocked number, please ask the center staff.  In addition, please listen to the whole message and confirm it at the end or the system will consider this a hang up and contact you again.  Thank you for your consideration.
