In April of this year, we’ll be 50! White River Council on Aging, better known as your staff at Bugbee Senior Center, formally incorporated as a nonprofit in April, 1976, and along with our forebears we have served many thousands of seniors since then. Next month, we’ll be kicking off celebrations and exhibitions all year to share memories from the past with each other.
Save the Date! Wednesday, April 8
Celebrating 50 Years: A Roundtable
After lunch on Wednesday, April 8th, join special guests, including our founding director Linda Glasgo, previous director Len Brown, and other characters from Bugbee’s past and present as we share memories, laughs, and photos from the last 50 years. Sign ups for lunch will be available later in March, and all are welcome to the Roundtable at 1:00.
