North Stonington Senior Center



HOME FRONT

Thanks to George Brennan and his crew the center looks wonderful. Not only did his crew do a great job, they also did it quickly and efficiently.

I took the time the center was closed to do some Spring cleaning. I had help from volunteers Jean-Luc, Shirley and Theralene.

Jean-Luc gave the floors a good scrubbing and waxing. He is currently in the process of cleaning the outside of the building.

Shirley was a big help. She came to the center with a great deal of energy and washed almost all the windows.

Theralene helped me clean and rearrange some of the cabinets in the kitchen.

The crafts group has cleaned out the supply closet. Now they have a good idea what supplies are available for their next project. Next on the to do list is valances for the windows. The sewing group has kindly agreed to make them.

I’d like to thank everyone for all they have done. Without their help, I would not have been ready to open the center for lunch on Wednesday.
