A BIG THANK YOU to all who worked, donated items, or came and enjoyed our bazaar! Each of you helped to make the day a big success!
The "Shattered Squares" quilt was won by Alice Hazen of West Hartford, a long-time supporter of the Bugbee Senior Center. Our congratulations to her, and our thanks to everyone who purchased raffle tickets.

Cookie Sale Update

Despite the "wintry mix" that was falling, our Cookie Sale was a big success.  $398.05 was brought in on the day of the sale. Additional sales brought the total to $463.10.
Our thanks to everyone who baked cookies and to the volunteers who called potential bakers, set up the dining room and braved the slippery roads to work at the sale, as well as those who supported the Center by purchasing cookies.
