As the Client Services Coordinator at the Senior Center, I have been making tons of calls from my home to touch base with you, and see how you are managing with the current health care crisis and quarantine. If I missed talking to you, please know that you are on my list to call!! If you need to talk to me asap, please email  kconsidine@townofmilford.com and I will call you. 

There seems to be a theme when I make these calls that I am grateful for. Most people tell me they are doing well and that family, friends and neighbors have stepped up to help out with groceries and other needs. There are a few of you taking advantage of early grocery store hours, and a few more who are cleaning closets and using the time to connect over the phone. I think what impresses me the most is how resilient you all are, having been through wars and the aftermath of the Great Depression you seem more prepared to cope, calm, more tolerant of sacrifices and appreciative of simple gestures of kindness, both giving and receiving. I am humbled! 

We will get through this, not just as a strong nation, but as a collective group of people in a very special Senior Center. So, take heart!! Our doors will be open again, programs will run, coffee served, there will be reconnecting and laughter. In the meantime, I am sending you all a virtual hug!
