To our Senior Community…

It is the mission of the Bennington Senior Center to engage persons 50+ in the lifelong learning process; promoting their physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing by providing social, recreational, creative and cultural programs enabling active participation in the center and community. Program costs are founded on a not-for-profit basis.

From the Director’s Desk: Here comes spring!

We have decided to partner with the Bennington Banner to print and distribute our Senior Community News. Extra copies will be available at the Bennington Senior Center (124 Pleasant St.), the Bennington Town Office and the Bennington Community Center (655 Gage St.). It will now be the Bennington Senior & Community News, and will include information, offerings, and schedules from the Bennington Community (Rec) Center AND the Bennington Senior Center. Our hope is to reach more people.

If you have paid for a mailing subscrip-

tion, you will receive a print version of the Senior Center information until your subscription expires. We will not be renewing subscriptions or accepting new subscriptions.

Stay well, Carrie Fabricius - Program Director CONTACT INFO: Bennington Senior Center 124 Pleasant St., Suite 3 Bennington, VT 05201 Phone 442-1052 or 802-447-9714 cfabricius@benningtonvt.org
