    DECEMBER VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH- John Pozega

    John has been a volunteer at Thrive 55+ on and off since 2006. He first started to utilize the center when he
    moved to Groton from Gales Ferry and wanted more than just meals and classes, he wanted to give back. This is
    when John decided that he could best be utilized in the Tech Center.
    We were very fortunate that John wanted to volunteer in the Tech Center, he
    is a true asset. John has been working with computers since 1980. His career
    working with computers started after graduating college when he took a
    position with the Burlington Northern Railroad working as an Information
    Technology Specialist of the purchasing department for 15 years. After that,
    he worked for IBM Global Services for 7 years where he retired from and
    then moved from Texas to CT to be with his sister and her family.
    John enjoys volunteering at the center because it gives him an opportunity to
    socialize and make new friends. John finds it very gratifying when someone
    comes to him with a tech problem and he is able to show them the solution
    and the individual has an ah,ha moment! He also feels that volunteering in the
    technology center challenges him because it’s something new everyday and no
    two problems are ever the same. He loves it!
    On occasion, John has also donated some of his gorgeous knit blankets to our center. He is very talented. John
    also enjoys reading, cross stitch, painting and zentangle. We hope John continues to pursue all his hobbies and we
    thank him for all of his years of dedication to our Technology Center !
