We wanted to give our well-wishes to Natalie Lindberg, who has been our Benefits Counselor for the last 9 years.

Initially hired as the Outreach Administrator for the Senior Center back in November of 2005, Natalie demonstrated great ability to assist the older adult population with many aspects of their lives.  She did so with a hard to match work ethic and determination to get a good end result for her clients.  The types of programs and services she assisted with was billing disputes, supplemental insurances, housing options and application assistance, food assistance and the many aspect of dealing with Medicare to name a few.

When Natalie retired in March of 2012 from the City of Norwich, she agreed to stay on through the end of the Grant that she was also working under (September 2012).  We were lucky enough that the extra 6 months she agreed to turned into 9 years.

Natalie has forever left her mark here at the Senior Center and in the lives of many of our seniors who entrusted her with their most valuable information and required her great assistance.

We wish her all the best in her life after work and hope for great health for her as well.

With extreme gratitude,

The Rose City Senior Center staff and many seniors who have had the honor to work with you.

• Don’t pay to sign up for the vaccine. Anyone who asks for a payment to put you on a list, make an appointment for you, or reserve a spot in line is a scammer.
• Ignore sales ads for the COVID-19 vaccine. You can’t buy it – anywhere, including online pharmacies.  The vaccine is only available at federal- and state-approved locations, such as vaccination centers and pharmacies.
• Don’t share your personal, financial, or health information with people you don’t know. No one from a vaccine distribution site, health care provider’s office, pharmacy, health insurance company or Medicare, will call, text, or email you asking for your Social Security, credit card, or bank account number to sign you up to get the vaccine.
• Watch for unexpected or unusual texts. Don’t click on links in text messages, especially messages you didn’t expect.  If your healthcare provider or pharmacist has used text messages to contact you in the past and you get a text claiming it is from your healthcare provider, call your doctor or pharmacist directly to make sure they sent the text.  Scammers are texting, too.
• Don’t open emails, attachments, or links from people you don’t know, or that come unexpectedly. You could download dangerous malware onto your computer or phone.
