Computer Assistance Available!
The computers were installed in November and we now have internet access at the Center.
During January, you can sign up for a half-hour "one-on-one" session with a computer-literate volunteer at the following times:
Mondays: 1:00 to 2:00
Tuesdays (except first Tuesday):
10:00 to 12:00
Wednesdays: 1:00 to 2:00
Thursdays: 12:30 to 2:30
Fridays: 10:00 to 12:00
To sign up, call the Bugbee Senior Center at 802-295-9068. There is no charge for this program.
While the focus is primarily related to learning to send e-mail and use the internet, if you have other computer questions, our volunteers can probably help you.

Health Clinics
At Bugbee Senior Center
Visiting nurses from the VT/NH Visiting Nurse Alliance check blood pressure and weight, administer physician-ordered injections and perform other services at health clinics at Bugbee Senior Center from 10 AM to noon on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. (They conduct a similar clinic at Norwich Senior Housing at 11AM on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.) For specific information on the services they provide, call the VNA at 603-448-1597. Appointments are taken for these clinics. Patients are seen on a "first come, first served" basis. There is no charge for this clinic.
Foot Care Clinic
The visiting nurses also provide routine foot and toenail care at the Center from 9AM to noon on the first Tuesday of each month. Appointments are necessary and may be made by calling 295-9068. These clinics tend to fill up very quickly so plan ahead. There is a $15 fee.

Mock Trial Jurors Needed
The Justice Class at Hartford High School will be conducting two separate mock trials. Jurors are needed for each trial. To make the trial experience more realistic for the students, they are hoping to get volunteers from the community (including Bugbee Senior Center) to serve on the juries.
The first trial will be a one-day trial on Wednesday, Jan. 15 from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM. The second trial will be a two-day trial on Thursday, Jan. 16 and Friday, Jan. 17 from 1:00 to 2:30 PM each day.
If you would be interested in serving on either of these juries, or would like more information, please call Roger Maynard at Hartford High School (295-8620 x215).
