2017 Membership Renewal time!

A Message from Mike: Once again it is Membership Renewal time!

Yearly Membership runs from July 1st – June 30th

I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone to make sure they do the following:

  1. Make sure you are a registered Member of the Senior Center if you are taking part in any activities. This includes using our Hairdresser, Massage Therapy, transportation, all classes and programs.
  2. If you are registered, please update your information (address, phone number, emergency contact, etc.) with your Membership renewal or as it changes throughout the year.

Obtain a SCAN CARD, if you don’t already have one.  PLEASE USE IT.  If you are unsure how to use it, see a staff member and we will gladly show you.  The statistics are very vital to maintain what we offer by showing usage of our classes, programs and services.

NEW THIS YEAR

Following the structure of many other cities and towns, we are initiating a differential for in-town Membership compared to out-of-town Membership.

In-Town Membership will remain a suggested $25.00 per year

Out-of-Town Membership will increase to $40.00 per year 

We will continue to have the same policy regarding preference for in-town Members first when there is limited registration or space in programs and trips.

Free Seminar: Medicare Basics

Healthcare is one of the most important decisions we make and it’s so important we have a solid grasp of the options prior to making a choice. This is especially true for Seniors when it comes to Medicare and the many diverse choices and options that we are faced with in the system. We receive information from many sources leading up to enrollment, but in many cases that can lead to further confusion. We’re offering a free seminar about Medicare basics and what you need to know when turning 65 at the Lymes’ Senior Center on June 20th at 1:00pm. The seminar will be presented by John Pitarra Jr and James Fernstrom of Senior Health Insurance, located in Clinton CT.
