We are Open! Here are the Updates!
The Montville Senior Center is once again open to all of our
Montville Seniors (60+) for programs, activities, and services. While not all of the
programs have started back up as yet, we do have many going and most importantly, our seniors are welcome to come in, visit, and socialize once again! We have
safety measures in place and ask everyone to abide by them. We have a registration
sign in at the front office for everyone entering the building. We ask that people are
respectful of others and maintain a proper social distance. If you are not vaccinated, we request that you wear a mask. We also ask that if you are not feeling well,
please stay home until feeling better.
I would like to give a BIG THANK YOU to my TEAM—I am very proud of my
staff and special volunteers! We have been extremely busy during the entire pandemic. We have provided services over the phone, out in the parking lot through
heat waves, freezing rain and snow, and at senior’s and client’s homes. We never
missed a day and provided many of our regular services along with new ones!
We are offering many of the activities and programs we have offered in the past,
along with some new ones coming up soon. We do have a few instructors who will
not be coming back to us, unfortunately, though we will look for instructors for
those programs.
We will hopefully be able to offer all of the programs and services we provide at the
Center via ZOOM as well! In an effort to ensure that our seniors who are homebound, whether temporary or permanently, have access to and receive the benefits
of participating in our classes—we are working on a program to provide them all at
home. Please stay tuned for more information on this…………
Lastly, welcome back everyone! I am so very happy to see everyone back in person, it has been way too long and we have missed you all so very much!
