will put together an outfit that is both thrifty and attractive. Both men and
women models are needed. It will be fun! Sign up in the Senior Center office.

When they were here last, they put on a fantastic show with the excitement of
an Elton John concert. Bennie & the Jets are returning on Friday, March 3
at 6 p.m. Tickets are on sale for $7 per person and includes dessert and
coffee.
If the Enfield Public Schools are closed
because of inclement weather, the Senior Center programs are canceled. If there
is a school delay, our schedule goes on as usual. The building remains open, in
