Director’s Note
Dear Senior Center Friends,
This week I am on vacation. While the circumstances are causing us to stay nearby this year, we already have many future plans in mind with our “mini road tripper.” The most important part of a vacation is a change of pace and a new experience, whatever that may be.
With last year a lost year of travel, what did you do to expand your horizons instead? And if you could go anywhere in the world, where would that be? Maybe try a new recipe from that region or country in the meantime for a “taste” of far away.
Stay Safe,
Carrie
Reminder: Town Offices are closed Monday, May 31.
Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony
The Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony will air on the Community Voice Channel (CVC) on Monday, May 31 at 10 a.m.
