Chef David Fein of Brookdale Woodbridge tempts a class with a delicious appetizer during the “Cooking for Everybody” class at the Woodbridge Senior Center (pictured). This four week class is offered free of charge through a collaboration of the Center and Brookdale Woodbridge Senior Living Community.

Learn some new skills at the iPad and smart phone classes. These classes are on-going and are held in collaboration with the Woodbridge Library. Classes are Wednesdays from 2:45-3:45pm in room 11 in the Center Building in Woodbridge- September 28, October 5 and 12. This intergenerational program will feature upperclassmen from Amity High School guiding participants through navigating the operating system, mastering messaging, discovering downloadable books and other materials, as well as taking photos and maintaining proper storage technique. Registration for this free class is required.

Are you looking for a way to get more involved in your community? We are in need of volunteers to assist with luncheons on Tuesdays and Fridays, provide support for the Holiday Fair, help with the Friendly Visitor and Reassurance Program or come to teach a class.

The 23rd annual Holiday Fair committee needs your help! Donations of goods and services for the raffle, basket items for the silent auction, new and vintage jewelry for the jewelry sale, tag sale items such as sporting equipment, children’s toys, jigsaw puzzles, tools, holiday items and more, as well as bake goods for the delicious baked sale table are needed from the community. Please contact the Senior Center if you are able to donate or wish to volunteer. All proceeds benefit the Center and its programming. The Center will be accepting orders for pies (from Julia’s bakery) as part of this fundraising effort. All orders must be completed and paid for by October 28th. Pies must be picked up on November 5th.
