Dear Residents,�

I hope that your summer is going well. We had

great weather for the Country Fair and the 4

th

of

July parade. A special thanks goes out to the

many volunteers who worked tirelessly to provide

these community events.�

A reminder that the Farmer’s Market on the

Town Common is open every Saturday from

produce, other food items, and crafts from a

summer!�

Best Regards,�

Paul Cohen�

Town Manager�

From the Director’s Desk�

�

Sometimes people just need a break. August is

when I usually take a vacation, a chance to be

away from day to day responsibilities, be in a

new environment, and do things that I usually

don’t make time for. I often come back refreshed,

and thankful to be home, back to work, and

appreciating my everyday life. Even if you don’t

get a chance to get away this month, come to the

Senior Center for a “mini vacation.” You won’t

have to cook, you will be in new surroundings,

and you can do things that you

typically don’t make time for! �

�

Happy August, everyone!�

�

�

Warmly, �

�

Debi�

The Chelmsford Senior Center is an �

open and welcoming community.�

emergency, to ensure your wellness and to give

assistance if needed. This network can consist of

attendants, co�workers and neighbors. Ideally, a

location where you regularly spend time, for example

at home, school or volunteer site.�
