PROGRAM CHANGES
As we are all aware, costs everywhere continue to escalate. The town is trying to hold the line on costs and assure that your tax dollar is being spent in a more efficient manner. As a result, in order to provide the same services we have in the past, we have had to attach fees to some of our programs such as bridge, bowling and table tennis. These fees will help with expenditures related to the programs. We are aware that many seniors have limited incomes and we will do our best to keep our programs affordable. Therefore, we ask your understanding of these increases and hope it will not limit your participation.
