Jaime Ingaran, Evening Program Coordinator, is putting together a cookbook for the spring. She would love to include some of your favorite warm weather recipes. Please drop off a copy of a recipe at the front desk. Jaime will compile the recipes and sell copies of the collection in the gift shop for $2. Some of the best recipes can be found in local cookbooks.
The Enfield Senior Center classes are not held when the Enfield Public Schools are closed due to snow. If there is a weather delay, however, our programs go on as usual. Information about closings can be found on WFSB and you may also wish to call the Senior Center to verify closings.
We are tidying up our newsletter mailing list. If you, or someone you know, does not want to receive the Enfield Senior Center newsletter, Front & Center, please let us know. We can save money on the postage and be “green” by only sending the newsletter to Enfield residents who want to receive it. Thanks for your help.
Please register in the Senior Center office for these learning opportunities
