Your talented friends and neighbors will be performing at the Enfield Senior Center Talent Showcase on Friday, May 11 at 6 p.m.  The performers have been practicing and preparing for this entertaining evening.  Tickets are on sale for $7 per person which includes a dessert and coffee at intermission.

Every year dedicated volunteers provide free tax assistance at the Enfield Senior Center. Tax returns were filed for 435 participants.  Volunteers included: Ann Bailie, John DuBois, Sandy Haun, Larry Hayward, Alan Itzkowitz, Josh Kapelner, Joanna Karbonic, Pam Kennedy, Joe Murtari, Fran Shaver, Lillian Sheridan, John Young and AARP Tax Assistance Coordinator Bob Bourret.  Thank you for giving up your time to help others!

We are getting ready for our annual Spring Craft Fair, Bake Sale and Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, May 5 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.  The Enfield Garden Club will have a variety of plants for sale and the Enfield Lion’s Club will be making pancakes.  It is always a fun day to enjoy breakfast, visit with friends and shop to support the Enfield Senior Center.

It’s time again for the Line Dance Jamboree!  Get your tickets for an afternoon of line dancing.  Join the fun on Thursday, May 10 at 1 p.m.  Tickets are on sale now for $7 per person including admission, a turkey grinder and soda.

Who donates to the Friends of the Enfield Senior Center Annual Appeal?  Many participants who use the Senior Center and appreciate the wonderful services donate.  Many nonresidents who take classes or have lunch at the Senior Center donate.  Children and grandchildren donate to the Annual Appeal because they know how much the Senior Center means to their parents or grandparents and they have the means to make a financial contribution.  Businesses, younger Enfield residents, and lots of very nice people contribute to the Friends of the Enfield Senior Center Annual Appeal.  On May 1, the Friends of the Enfield Senior Center will launch their annual fundraising appeal for 2012 - 2013.  As in the past, the Friends of the Enfield Senior Center, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, ask for a contribution of $10 per person or $20 per couple.  Thank you for your generosity.  Your donations allow us to provide quality services in a beautiful facility that the Enfield Senior Center is known for.
