Voice Connect ~ Senior Center Robocall
We have recently starting using a new feature through MySeniorCenter called Voice Connect.
Voice Connect is a robocall which will send out a recorded message to Senior Center Members. This message can be sent to a select group or to all Senior Center Members who have scanned in over a period of time. This is just another tool we will be utilizing to get information out to people.
Please be aware that the Senior Center’s phone number, (860) 889-5960, will come up on your caller ID and it will indicate the call is from “City of Norwich”. This is a legitimate robocall coming from the Senior Center. The recorded message will be from Mike or Hilary and will be our actual voice not a computerized voice.
You do NOT have to call us back or respond to these robocalls unless otherwise asked to do so in the message or if you have a question. Our phone number is (860) 889-5960. Always remember, if you ever receive a suspicious phone call indicating it is from the Senior Center, please let us know! Be safe!
