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.

As a reminder, Wednesday, October 16th is the date of our annual clinic. Persons who have registered for the clinic will have received written correspondence regarding the event or in some cases, personal contact or a telephone call. We will have a volunteer assisting with the parking arrangements. Handicapped parking is available in the rear of the building. If you need to use a wheelchair, please call the Senior Affairs Office in advance of clinic day to ensure that one will be available for you. We ask that if possible, that you remain with us for 10 to 15 minutes to ensure that you do not encounter any adverse reaction to the injections. This will give you a great opportunity to visit with friends and neighbors and partake in a light refreshment.
