After 19 years as Program Planner, Judy Hunter is leaving the Bugbee Senior Center to become the Secretary of the Thetford Baptist Church. We can't begin to describe the many contributions Judy has made here over the years or how much we will miss her, though she assures us that she will come back from time to time as a participant or, perhaps, even as a volunteer! Judy's last official day will be August 15th.

Assistant Cook Terri LaSure is also leaving the Center. Terri has been with us since 1998 and has done a super job getting the home-delivered meals ready to go, along with many other tasks. We'll miss Terri and wish her well in her next endeavors.
