the Groton Senior Citizens Club 55 holds an annual fundraising raffle locally.  Funds go to support their altruistic community projects like fuel assistance and scholarships.

This annual dinner to celebrate the holidays is a club event.  During the dinner, the club raffles off gift cards to raise funds for their current projects.  Participants at the dinner are also asked to bring a food donation for the local food locker.

The seniors participate in these annual community parades.  They arrive early to decorate a fancy car or the center van which is then driven in the community parades.  The seniors also give out candy to children during the parade.

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.
