Email Address Send me your email address and stay up-to-date with any changes.
During this time it is difficult to contact all Senior Center Members using one form of communication. If you would like to be contacted by email about updates and information
about the Senior Center during our closure, please send me your email address. Although we are uncertain at this point of when we will be reopening and the changes that will be in place once we do, we will email you as soon as we have definite information in place.
Please send Hilary a quick email to be included on our email list.

Absentee Ballot
This year, due to COVID-19, all voters are eligible to vote for the general election by absentee ballot if they choose to do so. Polling places will also be open for those who choose to vote in-person.
If you choose to vote by Absentee Ballot you must submit an application. You should have received an application for an Absentee Ballot in the mail mid-September, if not, contact your town’s City Clerk.
To receive your Absentee Ballot, check that your information is correct on the application, check off your reason to vote by Absentee Ballot, sign the application, seal the application in the envelope that was sent with it and either mail it back or drop it in the Election Drop Box located outside your Town or City Hall in the town you live in. Absentee Ballots will be mailed out starting October 2nd.
For Norwich, there is an Election Drop Box located outside of Norwich City Hall, 100 Broadway and one located outside of Wequonnoc School, 155 Providence Street, Taftville.

Senior Center Re-Opening and Programs Survey
If you have not already done so, please consider taking our online survey.
Please complete our online survey by going to https://tinyurl.com/RoseCityReopen
At this time, we do not have a date as to when the Rose City Senior Center will be re-opening. We currently have no plans to open before CT lifts the “Stay Home and Stay Safe” for individuals 65 and older, which should take place for Phase 3 of Connecticut’s re-opening plan. When CT Phase 3 does happens, the re-opening date for the Senior Center is still to be determined, but we anticipate that it should follow soon after.
When we do re-open, we will be following all of the social distancing guidelines, safety measures and protocol issued by the State of CT that Senior Centers need to follow.
We will be re-opening in phases, initially offering a limited number of classes and limiting the amount of people in each class to accommodate for social distancing. Classes will be based on our ability to safely offer them, control who is in the building, for how long and for what specific purpose. Everyone will be required to register for classes in advance and no one will be allowed in the building otherwise.
Other programs will be slowly reintroduced and more people will be allowed in the building over time and by appointment only. Slowly but surely, we should once again get back to how we operated pre-pandemic. Hang in there!
As we continue to work on our re-opening plan, we want to hear from you.
If you have not already done so, please help us out by taking our online survey.
We want to know what your concerns are and what would hinder you from coming back once we re-open. We would like to know if you participate in any Virtual Programs and if you use Social Media. Your answers will help us better gauge what to offer and what to implement when we do re-open.
The survey should only take approximately 5 -10 minutes to answer. Your answers are anonymous and it is optional to leave your contact information if you have question related to the survey. Your answers are for our planning purposes only. https://tinyurl.com/RoseCityReopen
If you have any questions or would like the survey link emailed to you, please contact Hilary (860) 889-5960 or hsandberg@cityofnorwich.org
Thank you for taking the survey! Stay Safe!

Membership Renewal
Membership Renewal
Membership renewal in normally due starting July 1st. Since the Senior Center is still closed to the public until further notice, we are accepting renewals by mail only at this point.
We have already begun receiving renewals from some of our current Members. If you are not currently using any of our services and would prefer to wait until we reopen to renew your Membership, that is fine and we understand. If you are currently using one of our services (such as Transportation) we ask that you renew at this time.
For those of you who would like to pay your Membership dues now, please fill out the Membership Form on the adjacent page and mail it in with your payment. You can also call and pay over the phone with a credit card. Filling out the Membership Form is important for us to make sure we have all of your up-to-date information, including correct emergency contact information. If you call to pay over the phone, please go over your information with us or still mail in the completed Membership Form.
As a reminder, Membership dues paid to the Senior Center go directly towards providing services, programs, classes, activities and events. They help us pay instructors for different classes we offer and provide needed supplies for different senior center groups. Money we receive from dues stays with the Senior Center and does not go into the City of Norwich’s general fund. The Senior Center controls how and when we use the money in order to provide you with the best services.
We appreciate all the donations and Memberships that we receive in order for us
to bring you as much as we can. Thank you!
