The New London Senior Center

September is National Senior Center Month and we are doing a membership drive. Everyone who is 55 years of age and older is eligible for membership. There is no fee for membership. Become active at YOUR Senior Center. . We are planning a celebration every day in September and hope you will be able to attend and tell us what you would like to see in your future.

Come in and pick up your copy of the June newsletter if you'd like to see what other trips we have planned. Bingo is played Monday, Thursday and Friday mornings. Pickle ball is a Monday happening and there's always room for another participant. Join us!

Today the group will be travelling to Newport for dinner and a show. There are six seats remaining for those who are interested in travelling on this gorgeous day!

Celebrate Spring! Shortly, with all the trees and flowers in bloom and the milder temperatures, it will soon be a good day for a walk. Need a destination....come visit us at the New London Senior Center. We'd like to hear where you been and what you've been doing all winter. Join us!
