Well, folks, let’s hope there is an end in sight and

we can get back into the senior center soon! As

eager as all of you to have some in person

programming again! In the meantime, please

would like to continue to receive the newsletter in

the mail. If you have an email, let us know that too

Our Zoom programs have become more popular

over the past few months, with our Crafting with

Kristin program, Bingo, Brain Games and Cooking

with Cindy programs. These programs are a great

way to “see” people in a safe way! Remember,

to anyone who is interested in learning more

about Zoom. I hope you will join us on one of the

upcoming programs. �

As I write this, City Hall is closed to the public,

which means our lending shelf inside the building

has been temporarily put on hold. If you are

looking for a new puzzle or book, please call the

office and we can coordinate a pick up for you. �
