Lawn chairs in front of the Senior Center

Thanks to Adam Sandler and his crew, the Senior Center will be getting some folding tables, a new photocopier, and maybe a nice lunch.

Senior Center coordinator Pam Lefrancois asked selectmen last week for approval to spend up to $4,500 of the $7,000 they got from Columbia Pictures last May. The funds will go toward lightweight folding tables to use at events like their barbeques, and a new photocopier to replace their current 5-year-old model.

Lefrancois also wants to use some of the movie money to hold a luncheon or similar event to compensate seniors for having been displaced during the filming this spring. The Senior Center was closed for a couple of weeks while movie trucks occupied their back parking lot.

In other Senior Center news, the Council on Aging received a $5,500 grant from Baypath Elder Services to fund a volunteer coordinator. The coordinator will work with Algonquin groups like the National Honor Society and the music association to put on programming for seniors.
