this program is to promote socialization for homebound seniors.  A homebound senior or one who could use a bit of a lift is asked to invite a friend for lunch at their home.  The center then arranges for two meals to be donated by a local restaurant for the senior and their guest.  A volunteer delivers the meal and sets the table up with a china place setting and a gift for the senior and their friend.  Later the china is picked up by a center driver to come back for the next time.  So many local restaurants are so willing to help with this program that they only have to do this once a year.

This senior club has been running since 1968.  The club raises funds for altruistic projects in the town of Groton and at the center.  Funds have been raised for AEDs to be placed at town buildings, for scholarships, for fitness equipment at the center, for the local skate board park, for human services in town, for fuel assistance for seniors and more.  The club also sponsors social events at the center.

This event brings local vendors, banks, health institutions and senior service providers to the center for an annual information fair.  Approximately 80 vendors attend and over 300 seniors.

Held for seniors who would be alone on Christmas, this dinner is sponsored by the Groton Senior Center.   Food and monetary donations from area businesses provide the meal and volunteers run the event.  Prizes are donated for free raffles.

This senior citizen club event provides scholarships based on personal achievements to Groton high school seniors.  A senior committee sends out applications and reviews returned applications and select the winners.
