An Irish Meal, Free Tax Prep and Coffee & Biscotti

Middlesex Health Care Center in Middletown will be sponsoring a breakfast at the Middlefield Senior Center on Tuesday, March 20th.  Reservations for this breakfast must be made by March 12th.  Space is limited for this popular event. Please call the center if you would like to come to the breakfast and as always we ask that you “lug a mug” helping us to go green, so we can cut down on paper waste.  Please call Antoinette Astle at 860-349-7121 

Enjoy St. Patrick’s Day at the senior center with a traditional Irish meal on Thursday March 15th at noon. Tom Stankus will entertain everyone with the sounds of Ireland. Reservations for this luncheon needs to be made by Monday March 12th.  The cost is a suggested donation of $2.00. 

Knitters/Crocheters meet every Thursday at 9:30 for coffee and biscotti.  Even if you don’t knit come and enjoy the company and conversation.  Some of the projects are for home and family but many more are donated to the Cancer Centers in Middletown and Meriden. Our knitters have donated over 200 afghans to the centers for people receiving treatment.  New to knitting or want to learn? Our knitters are eager to help.  This is a drop in activity no registration is needed. We have yarn, needles and hooks.

AARP Free Tax Preparation for seniors with low and moderate income will be available at the Senior Center during the months of  March and April(until April 17th) every Tuesday by appointment.   Please call the Center once you have received all your documents that you need to file.  We also ask that you bring last year’s return.

Please call 860-349-7121 if you would like to make reservations for any programs or to sign up for lunch in our senior café (serving lunch every Monday, Wednesday and Friday)
