August at the Ellington Senior Center

If you haven't had a chance, take a drive down Maple Street and you will definitely notice the progress being made at the new Senior Center!  The excitement here is growing daily!  We are already in the midst of planning the calendar for 2014 and are thrilled to be able to provide ample space for our current programs, as well as new ones.

Speaking of programs...

August 1st-16th we are asking folks to complete a "Trip Survey" for 2014.  Tell us where you'd like to go, when and for how long.  A form is available at the senior center and also online via the town website: www.ellington-ct.gov under the senior center.

We are also in the process of forming "The Ellington Mens' Club".  The next meeting to plan the agenda for the year will be on Wednesday, August 21st 8:30am-10am.  New members and ideas are welcome!

Interested in learning about Digital Cameras: the different features, how to use them, how to print, etc.?  Join us on Wednesday, August 28th at 1pm to register for this free class sponsored by Best Buy.  The class date is Wednesday, Sept. 11th 1-2pm. 

Lastly, on Thursday, August 29th, join us for a free movie at 1pm:  "The Guilt Trip" starring Barbara Streisand and Seth Rogan.

Keep an eye out in September as many programs that have taken a summer haitus will be returning....
