The month of April is a special month to celebrate our volunteers.  Volunteer Recognition Day, as the name suggests, is a day to honor, recognize and celebrate the selfless individuals who volunteer their time and energy to help others and promote good causes. I want to thank all our volunteers in the Town of Uxbridge, not only at the Senior Center, but also throughout the Town.  Many of our volunteers are seniors, especially those who work for the Senior Work-off Program, who serve in different departments.  Volunteerism empowers individuals to find their purpose, to take their passion and turn it into meaningful change.  This is a time to honor the impact of all those who do good in our Town and inspire others to make a difference.  

The senior center will be holding a luncheon for our volunteers on Monday, April 29th at 12 noon.  Please consider joining us to celebrate our volunteers at this luncheon and don’t forget to RSVP. 

Our SHINE Counselor, Pat Nectow, is back from hiatus and able to assist you with your health insurance questions and concerns.  Pat will be at the center at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, April 16.  Please call the center to schedule your appointment.  

A thank you to the Uxbridge Elderly Connection, State Rep. Mike Soter, our volunteers, and our donors for the Rise Up Easter ham lunch delivered to our seniors on Saturday, March 23rd.  Our seniors appreciate your support & kindness!
