Message from the COA Coordinator

                                                             HAPPY SPRING!                                                   APRIL 2024

If you have not be able to attend our new workshops, please take a look at the April Calendar for the dates and times of the various workshops.

This month the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office are continuing their nine-week program.  Among the topics offered in March were the “Yellow Dot” and “File of Life” Programs. These weekly workshops have been very informative.

The SeniorU and Therapy Gardens programs are educational……and fun!  If you haven’t attended, you are missing out on opportunities for learning about and enjoying the themed programs offered twice monthly. April SeniorU workshop is “Healthy Eating on a Budget” and Therapy Gardens workshop is “Spring Gardening Ideas”.

TRIAD is held on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 10:00am at the Senior Center. Come by and chat with our Police, Fire and Communication Officials as well as meet with members of the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Department and Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office.

A coffee hour hosted by our Veterans Agent, Vince Fountaine, is held on the last Wednesday of the month at 9:30am.  If you are a veteran or know a veteran, please spread the word and come by and join Mr. Fountaine for coffee. We had a guest in February, Elaine…a Gold Star Wife, and she has agreed to come by every now and then to speak with our veterans and their wives.

Avon’s Memory Café is held on the last Wednesday of the month at the Avon Council on Aging.  It’s such a wonderful program reaching out to people touched by Dementia.  If you are interested in attending or would like more information, please contact the Avon Council on Aging.

Remember to check the calendar for the dates and times of all the above events and for our Chair Hip-Hop, Line Dancing and other activities and/or events held throughout the month.

In closing, I’d like to thank everyone who participated in our St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon on March 14th at the Rockland Golf Club.  A great time, great meal and great company!!!

Hope to see you soon.
