2. CLASSES & LECTURES: Join the New Current Events Group at the Senior Center

Do you relish a good discussion? A recent request for a Current Events Discussion group and a phone call from an interested facilitator has coalesced into our new Current Events Discussion group. A local retired professor, Richard Nesmith, has volunteered to facilitate this group here at the Senior Center. He is an experienced teacher and facilitator whose goal is to engage the group, to ensure each voice is heard and to facilitate a discussion that is respectful and engaging.

There will be a myriad of topics, at the beginning chosen by Mr. Nesmith, but with the goal of building the agenda as a group.

The group will meet the second and fourth Thursdays at 10:30 for one hour.

Call the at 978-443-3055 to let them know you are coming.

Get the 411 on 911— let’s talk about emergencies and the most common first aid events that you may encounter. What should you have in your first aid kit? What do you need to tell the dispatcher when you call 911? When should you call 911?
