OLD LYME—On Monday, May 5, more than 150 people turned out for a celebratory pizza party at the Lyme’s Senior Center in honor of its “soft opening.”
The Center on Town Woods Rd. has finally emerged from a major renovation and expansion project. Those who attended were able to explore the now much improved facility while also viewing the new design and improvements for themselves.
Director Stephanie Gould and Assistant Director Caitlin Perkins were on hand to welcome back the seniors, who have been pursuing Center activities at various venues in town during the construction period. WIth the reopening of the Center, all the activities are now relocated back at the Center
Five Old Lyme Town Hall staff—First Selectwoman Martha Shoemaker, Vicki Urbowicz, Courtney Joy, Michele Hayes, and Katie Balocca—attended the celebration to assist with the festivities.
