Did you know?

When Peggy McKleroy and I took the quick drive to Brooklyn to visit the Quinebaug Valley Senior Center (QVSCC), we were warmly and professionally greeted. QVSCC is at 69 South Main Street in Brooklyn. It’s a large facility that’s well laid out with many rooms for a multitude of activities. Some of the activities include art, fitness classes, knitting, and quilting. Other services include, but are not limited to: Benefits Information & Referral, SNAP and Energy Assistance, CHOICES Counseling (to help seniors navigate the Medicare system), Volunteer Opportunities, a Monthly Newsletter, Nutrition Education, Community Café, talks, informational programs, and AARP Safe Driving Courses, to name a few! Meals are also available at the Center. Membership fee is just $10 a year to access all of these services.

Their monthly newsletter is chock full of programs and information. Linda Lamoureux, Director, can be reached at 860-774-1243. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday 9AM – 2PM. We highly recommend Hampton Seniors check out this opportunity for socializing, developing and/or enhancing skills.
