(May 18, 2022)—We are having some June warm weather, already in May. The forecast is for more of the same so it’s a great time for an outdoor picnic! This short note is to remind you that the Haddam COA, Committee On Aging, is sponsoring a picnic just for seniors on June 20, 2022.
It is a great venue for seniors in our town to gather together and socialize in a country setting. It will be under a pavilion, and includes some oldies but goodies by our one-man band, John Condi. You also could use the opportunity to speak to one of the committee members about some of the services available to Haddam seniors. If a committee member can’t help you, there will probably be someone on hand who can. Need help now, contact Jessica Condil, Haddam’s Director of Senior & Social Services. She’s also the town’s Municipal Agent for the Elderly. However, the main focus of this event is for you to have an enjoyable time … dancing on the grass and Frisbee throwing will be permitted J
- Where: Haddam Neck Fair Grounds
- When: Mon., June 20 (in case of inclement weather we’ll move it to Haddam Fire House)
- Time: 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
- What: a “typical picnic lunch” including hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, bag of chips, soft drinks, and mixed fruit for dessert.
- Getting there: Take the East Haddam swing bridge and follow routes 149 & 151 until you see the sign “Haddam Neck.” Continue on Haddam Neck Road until you come to the Fair Grounds, it’s the turn just past the Firehouse.
- BTW there will be a handicapped accessible School Bus available at 10:45 a.m., at the Higganum Green. It seats 10 plus one wheelchair. Reserve a seat at Senior Center, or call Diane directly at 860-682-3301.
You’ll need to make a reservation for lunch before Monday June 13, 2022 with a $5 refundable payment by either stopping by the Senior Center at 923 Saybrook Road or contacting Beth Hartke at a Club 60 meeting or call her at 860-345-4608.
