Although the Council on Aging has suspended its events, programs and classes at the senior center, it is still providing services to Dartmouth residents in need. Here are the COA services coming up as 2020 wraps up.

Council on Aging newsletter

The COA newsletter is available on the Town of Dartmouth website. Visit town.dartmouth.ma.us and click on ‘Departments’ and then ‘Council on Aging.’ Look for the latest newsletter in the left-hand menu. Otherwise, call (508) 999-4717 and provide your email or mailing address to be added to the mailing list.

Holiday drive-thru lunch

The Center is looking to spread some much needed holiday cheer with a festive grab and go lunch featuring curated tunes from DJ Jordan Paiva and guest appearances from Mr. and Mrs Claus.

The event will be held on Dec. 22 from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Sign up is required, which can be done by calling the COA. The event is for Dartmouth residents only.

Holiday gift basket raffle

It’s the season of gifts, and the Center is looking to raffle quite the holiday basket. To enter, a  mail-in form can be found in the December newsletter. The drawing will be held Dec. 22.

New “write on” journaling group

Prompted entries will express reflections on the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as other life experiences and history. For more information, contact Nancy at the Center.
