    Happy Retirement Louise!!!!

    We would like to extend our very best wishes to Louise Lemire (TVCCA Site Server) who has spent 2-3 days per week preparing and serving lunches to our members here at the Rose City Senior Center.  Louise has been with us for the better part of 10 years and recently decided to retire and spend more time at home.

    Louise and her husband Jean have been members of the center for over 10 years and have both contributed to making the center a better place.

    On behalf of the staff and seniors of the Rose City Senior Center,

    we wish you good health and much happiness!

    Stay Home and Stay Safe!

    Older adults and people who have underlying medical conditions are at a higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19.  Governor Lamont and the CDC are recommending that people aged 65 and older or anyone with severe health conditions should continue to stay home and stay safe.

    Remember to Stay Active and Stay Connected while staying safe at home!

    Doing any activity around the home is better that none at all!

    Be sure to remain active to maintain your health, muscle strength and flexibility!  It is good for your mental health too!

    Also remember to stay connected!
