Happy New Year!
Can you believe we are a quarter of the way through the 21st century! Amazing!! We have lots to share this month! Manicures are back! Lisa Flanagan has agreed to do manicures on Fridays starting this month. We will start booking appointments once a month and if interest grows we will see if we can expand her time here. She will start on Friday January 17th, and her hours will be from 10:30 am to 1pm. Please call us to book an appointment at 781 581 7557.
Just a reminder: If you need help with paying your heating bill, please consider applying for Fuel Assistance here at the COA. A representative from LEO comes once a month to assist folks with the application. The appointment is held here and is confidential. Please call the COA and book an appointment.
Our Blood Pressure Clinic will be held on Friday January 10th starting at 10:45. That’s a change from the usual Wednesday date that we hold the clinic on, so please make note! Also we will be continuing Art with Erica and Singing After Lunch in January. We will also be traveling to the Tiger’s Den at Lynn Vocational Tech at the end of the month.
Just a reminder: Market Basket trips are every other Monday starting at 12:30 pm. Please call the center to sign up.
We also will be bringing back live entertainment on Wednesday January 29th at the Rose Marie room at the Community Center. It’s an interactive murder mystery, Mangia, Meatballs and Murder, performed by our friends from the Delvena Theater Company of Lynn. Admission is free, thanks to a grant given from Nahant Cultur-
al Council which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
We have a busy start to the New Year! One of my resolutions is to explore ideas on how to increase the number of folks who come and visit the council on aging. We still offer, what I think are, the best lunches for any senior center around. We would encourage you to come join us! Just call ahead so the cook has a head count.
Please consider, stopping by for a cup of coffee, conversation and building community. Please check inside the newsletter for more information about the programs mentioned above. We look forward to seeing and being with you. Happy New Year!
