Jody Madden of Mass DCR and Sally Selvidge; Actvities Coordinator at the Uxbridge Senior Center, take on walking path bench project.
New benches along Greenway walking path In an effort to encourage seniors and folks of all ages to get out and walk, the Massachusetts DCR announced a campaign to place three benches along the Blackstone Valley Greenway walking path. This initiative is part of the Uxbridge Senior Center’s effort that began with the launch of the walking club lead by Activities Coordinator, Sally Selvidge. Sally presented this project to Jody Madden from Mass DCR (Department of Conservation & Recreation) and Jody quickly responded to construct and install the benches along the walking path. The walking path is located on Adams Street in South Uxbridge. The Uxbridge Senior Center’s Walking Club meets every Wednesday at 9 a.m. (weather permitting) on the walking path. This is a program in coordination with Massachusetts Council on Aging (MCOA) Walk Massachusetts Challenge, which runs until September 30th. Call the center to sign up at 508-278-8622 or go to www.mcoaonline.com/ walkma. The center wishes to thank Jody and Mass DCR for their efforts and interest in helping our community.
