Intergenerational Bingo
Tuesday, June 7, the Senior Center will host an Intergenerational Bingo event with Middlebury Elementary School students who are Friendly Helpers. To become a Friendly Helper, the student has to perform a good deed and is then asked to be a member. Friendly Helpers participate in school programs.
For this event, they will help serve the seniors lunch, and then help them with the Bingo event. Prizes will be given to the Bingo winners.
If you like Bingo and kids, this is an event you do not want to miss. Reserve your place by calling 203-577-4166.
