Women’s Breakfast
The Women’s Breakfast Group will meet next on Sept. 10, (the second Wednesday due to Labor Day).
If you ever wanted to see South America, you are in luck. See it from the comfort of the Granby Senior Center as Charmaine Glew will entertain us with slides from her travels in South America. Should be exciting!
Breakfast will start at 8:30 a.m., followed by the program at 9 a.m. Cost remains $5. Please register with the Senior Center in advance, either online at (JenniferKielbasasenior@granby-ct.gov) or by phone at (860-844-5352). Advance registration helps to insure an accurate meal count.
Conversation and Coffee
The Granby Men’s Group will meet Fridays, July 11 and Aug. 8, at 8:30 a.m. with coffee and tea provided by the Senior Center at no charge. In an informal presentation at the July meeting, Bob Jensen will display some of his specialized birdhouses and woodworking.
