    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!

     

    Volunteer Breakfast ~ CANCELLED

    At this time we have decided not to have a Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast this year due to the ongoing COVID-19.  We plan to honor all of our wonderful Senior Center Volunteers in a different way this year in the near future.  We appreciate each and every one of you for all that you do for the Rose City Senior Center, it’s staff and fellow Senior Center Members.

     

    Thank You

    Thank you to those individuals who gave a donation to the Senior Center in lieu of a refund for their Corned Beef and Cabbage ticket purchase.  The Corned Beef and Cabbage luncheon is one of our fundraisers for the year and we appreciate your kind donation.  With your donation, we raised a little over $500 for the Senior Center to help with future programs and events.

    Thank you for helping to support Rose City Senior Center!
