Summer is finally here! We are so happy that we have made it through the dark winter
of COVID 19 and are now reaching some light in this long tunnel! While COVID 19
continues to be a concern, we are thankful that most of our seniors have been vaccinated!
We were happy to assist in that process; scheduling vaccines and providing
transportation. Together we have seen first hand the resiliency of our community to do
all we can to prevent the spread of illness. Practicing social distancing, wearing masks,
getting vaccinations, all of these things have lead us to be able to safely reopen much of
our programing.
July and August will be a great time here at the Community Center! We have some
wonderful events planned! Join an exercise class, come to a movie, play some BINGO,
enjoy a game of ping pong, shoot pool, get together for cards and board games, sign up
for a special luncheon, meet up with friends for a chat and a cup of coffee...we have all
of these things and more available to our Waterford seniors!
Not only do we offer entertainment and social opportunities, our department also helps
with programs like Renters Rebate, Medicare and the Medicare Savings Programs,
Medicaid, SNAP, resources, referrals and more. Call us if you need assistance. We are
always happy to meet with you.
Be sure to listen in to our latest podcast,
Have a safe and healthy summer! The Waterford Senior Buzz!
