Elizabeth is our October volunteer. She is an outstanding volunteer and we are very lucky to have her! She has
been a volunteer at Groton Senior Center for the past 5 years. You will often find Elizabeth behind the scenes
quietly working away at any given task.
After 40 years of Elizabeth being the “goose” flying in the front of the formation, she decided that when she
retired, she would move back in the formation but still provide lift to the group. Thus, she became a background
volunteer. She really enjoys being a volunteer; she meets new people, learns new things, stays sharp and active.
Some of these activities have included: member of the Groton Parks & Recreation Commission, Participant for
the Vendor Selection team for the Senior Center Branding Study, Community First Dinner program, grab and go
lunch program, Garden Club, TRIAD Committee, Club 55 raffle ticket sales and bake sales, Holiday Luncheons
and pretty much anything that we need help with Elizabeth is always willing to lend a hand.
While Groton Senior Center is her main focus for volunteering (and social) activities, she has also served as a
member of the Council of Advisors to the Department of Nursing at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY. Recently
she was invited to join the Stonington Odd Fellows. When Elizabeth isn’t at the senior center she enjoys reading,
traveling, paper crafts, lighthouses and visiting Old Sturbridge Village & Mystic Seaport. Elizabeth also enjoys
spending time with Manny, her 12-year-old faithful feline companion, which tops her list (he insists!)
