To celebrate a very Happy 2021, Lori Contadino, Director of the Greenwich Commission on Aging, and the staff at the Greenwich Senior Center, wanted their members to have some treats to help celebrate the New Year. First Selectman Fred Camillo stopped by to help, and Police Chief Jim Heavey and several Officers, plus the Senior Center staff, handed out over 150 New Year Goody Bags full of Asti Spumanti, snacks and chocolates, as well as warm blankets. The Drive-Thru was contactless and members were happy to see everyone in person, shouting “Happy New Year!”
The Greenwich Senior Center, located at 299 Greenwich Avenue, has been closed since the beginning of the pandemic in March. People lined up in their cars to pick up their goodies at the front door in the Senior Center Circle, as police and staff placed the bags and blankets in their cars. Safe distancing was practiced and masks were mandatory for everyone.
