On Friday, Sept. 23, Senior Services of the Chathams held its annual barbeque attended by 65 area residents. Hamburgers and hot dogs were grilled by members of the Board of Trustees.
The barbeque was one of several open house events offered free of charge to kick off a great year of programs and services. “We hope that those that have never attended a program here will come during open house and see how much fun we have," said Kristin Jones, program director. Among the programs offered are 3 exercise classes, 2 book clubs, watercolor classes, card games, weekly movies, a men’s group and much more. The barbeque was sponsored by TD Bank.
Senior Services of the Chathams began as an outreach project of the Interfaith Council of Churches and was quickly spun off into an independent 501 c 3 organization. In addition to the senior center, the agency runs a transportation service for those that don’t drive, support groups and an information and referral service for a variety of geriatric issues including home health care needs, changes in Medicare, when to stop driving and government services.
