Last week our Over 60 Team competed at Stamford Senior Centers Senior Olympics. Our Team named themselves the Hawaiian Dreamers and dressed accordingly. It was wonderful fun and a great job done by Chris Crain and her staff. Our Hawaiian Dreamers win prizes for Best Banner, Relay Race and Coaches Relay. Can’t wait for next year!

Happy Memorial Day!
I wrote this about 15 years ago but it still is a reminder we all need.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One day each May we pause to reflect the greatest sacrifice.

We bow are heads and say our thanks to those that paid the price.

To keep our rights, they served and died, so we could all be free.

To live our lives each passing day, as they were meant to be.

The Brave, the Strong, the Heros True, their numbers each day grow,

Since we began this country strong, showing others what we know.

So I ask you please, reflect and pray, not only every May.

Remember all who served and died, each and every day.

Today is Giving Tuesday and I would like to ask that if you are considering making a charitable donation you think of Over 60 Club.


What do seniors do at Over 60 Senior Neighborhood?

What could possibly be so great to keep 200 seniors going to Over 60 Club faithfully every month? Some once or twice a month, some 2-3 times a week and some 5 days a week.
Could it Be

• The nutritious meal served each day in partnership with Catholic Charities for a voluntary donation of $2-3?

• The 10 exercise opportunities each week including General Fitness, Senior Aerobics, Silver Fit, Tai Chi, Chair Yoga, Zumba and Line Dancing?

• The information programs held monthly on health topics, service programs, safety issues and more?

• Health screenings for blood pressure, diabetes, flu shots and more?

• BINGO? Wii Bowling?

• The holiday parties held throughout the year including Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s, Passover Seder, Easter, Cinco De Mayo, Mother’s Day Tea, Summer Bash, Halloween, Diwali, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas and any other reasons that can be snuck in to celebrate?

• The help with referrals and paperwork from simply reading their mail they don’t under stand or making phone calls where all the recordings confuse them, to filling out forms they need for services?

• Subsidized transportation passes for Norwalk Transit Easy Access and CT Transit?

• New skills like computers, knitting crocheting and more!

Just plain fun with friends!
A helping hand, a smiling face, a good meal and friends!
It is all the above but it is mostly
Getting up each morning and knowing you have something to do with friends that are happy to see you and care about you. Knowing you still contribute to the community by helping others at the club. Even just making someone else smile adds value to your life. Isolation and depression are one of the biggest factors in declining health in older people. The Over 60 Club was formed 75 years ago just to give seniors a place to be together with others and it continues that and so much more today. This is all done at no cost to our members since many of them are living on a very low income and barely making it. We don’t ever want anyone to stay home because they feel they can’t afford to attend the Club. We work hard seeking grants and donations to maintain our programs so we can continue to provide these services to Stamford area seniors. Please stop by to see us and learn more about our great program.

After having to cancel the past two annual in person “Festival of Trees“ celebration, due to COVID-19, we are thrilled to say we are in the midst of planning for our 2022 Holiday celebration that will be held at Brighton Gardens of Stamford on Thursday, December 1, 2022 from 6-8:30pm. It is extra special to be back celebrating together this year as the Over 60 Club is celebrating its 75th Anniversary. When the Club began on November 2, 1947, it was one of the very first Senior Centers in the country.

When COVID hit in March of 2020, we had to improvise, moving exercise, lunch, and socializing programs outside and keeping all members informed and connected with good old fashion “snail mail” since most of our group was not social media savvy. We made wellness calls, delivered groceries, Holiday gifts, and jokes and puzzles to keep them active and entertained. We spent much of 2021 helping our senior community get their vaccines and boosters to protect themselves against COVID-19. In July of 2021, we resumed onsite programs only to be knocked out again for another 6 weeks by flooding from hurricane Ida. Our members are thrilled now to be back in full operation for a year now. They are with their friends attending fitness classes, educational programs, enjoying a subsidized lunch and having fun.

We hope you can join us on December 1st for some Holiday Cheer, plentiful hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction of “75”, beautifully decorated trees, wreaths and Holiday centerpieces to benefit the Over 60 Club. We are also very happy to be honoring Jean Mills Ar**ha. Jean is a graduate of Yale College and Fordham University School of Law and an Elder Law Attorney with Connecticut Legal Services. Jean has spent many years assisting low income Stamford area seniors. You can help us honor Jean and support the Club and our mission by becoming an event sponsor, decorating a tree or wreath, donating an item for our raffle and/or by purchasing tickets to the event. If you are decorating a tree or wreath, they can be picked up at either Over 60 Club or Brighton Gardens and need to be returned to Brighton Gardens by November 21st. To get a little friendly competition going there will be prize Baskets of Cheer given to creators of the highest selling Tree, Wreath and Centerpiece. Call Betty at 203-316-9335 or email [email protected] for more information.
