News Release for the Week of June 13, 2016
Once a year we pause to honor our volunteers. We are thankful every day, however. The Senior Center volunteers help the staff to do what we could not do alone. Although our volunteers are too numerous to mention by name, we want you to know how much we appreciate your help. We are honored to have you as a member of our team.
If you missed “Bridge of Spies” when it was in the movie theater, you may want to catch it on Thursday, June 23 at the Senior Center. Buy a ticket in advance if you would like to have a turkey grinder at 5 p.m. The ticket is $5 for dinner and a movie. If you would just like to enjoy the movie in the air-conditioned Senior Center, the cost is $2 at the door.
The first sign up date for July and August classes is Tuesday, June 14, at 8:30 a.m., for residents and Tuesday, June 21, at 8:30 a.m., for non-residents. All classes are listed in the June edition of Front & Center, the Enfield Senior Center newsletter.
The Truck Stop Troubadours bring their Solid Gold Country Show to the Enfield Senior Center on Friday, June 17 at 6 p.m. This popular four-piece band is bringing special guest Vicky St. Pierre with them for this performance of covers from the golden age of country music.
