Back by popular demand, we have scheduled another Coffee &
Conversation event at the Preston Senior Center on Wednesday, July 12th. Doors open at 12:00 (noon) and the program will begin at approximately 12:30 p.m. This presentation will offer residents an opportunity to air their questions and bring forth concerns regarding public safety. At the last Coffee & Conversation presentation, we were made aware of the need to provide an opportunity for residents to converse with our Resident State Troopers as we ran out of time and unfortunately couldn’t accommodate all of the requests. Our plan is to give you an opportunity to speak first; followed by information on scams, crimes, areas of concern which our Resident Troopers will address.
The senior center is air conditioned and has comfortable seating for
approximately 40 individuals. We will have coffee, tea, water and some light
refreshments.
