We are back and we missed you!
These past few months have been challenging for everyone, and we hope that you are all safe and healthy. We are so excited to welcome our members back to our Senior Center! We have
been following guidance from the Farmington Valley Health District to offer our programs safe and effectively. Make sure to check back for updates and schedule changes. We have included a
June calendar for your reference. Some activities/room locations may have changed since you were last here! We will try to keep the monthly schedule as consistent as possible, and add
special activities and programs in the coming weeks.
For the safety of our community, if you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms stay home. Seasonal allergies present similar symptoms to COVID-19; do not assume that your symptoms are only allergies. Our staff and instructors have the right to refuse participation by anyone they
feel are experiencing symptoms.
