Outreach Education
It Takes a Village to Love its Seniors
The Waterbury Senior Center and our Outreach Education Committee, which includes Jane Willard, Skip Flanders, Margo Sayah, and Grace Sweet together had planed programs to follow the noon meal at the
Senior Center. We got this far before Covid-19 hit.

February 14th Slides and talk about the Mount Mansfield Electric Railroad
March 13th Sharing family artifacts
The Senior Center is now closed -- we will let you know when they reopen.
In the meantime the Outreach Education Committee is providing 80 small gifts that will be delivered
with Meals on Wheels lunches each week. The first week included a mystery photo of the 1927
Waterbury Flood Thanksgiving. The answer arrived in the next week's meal. Some of the gifts we have
received already include 80 Thanksgiving cards from Margo Sayah, 80 "A Vermont Christmas Tree"
booklet from WDEV, 80 "Waterbury The Other Love of My Life" written by Kevin Eurich, Christmas Carol
