What's Happening in June?

The doors are reopening!

The COA is happy to announce that the Community Center, along with all Town buildings, are unlocking their doors June 1! We’ve missed seeing everyone in-person and would love to have you stop by to visit and say hello.

In June, we will begin to return to onsite programs as well as continued quality programs and fitness classes operating on Zoom. Due to regulations, in-person programs will return slowly as we move through the summer and into the early fall.

Check out our June newsletter for an in-depth look at COA offerings, including exciting presentations like these:

Summer brunch cooking class
Votes for Women: Massachusetts Leaders in the Women's Suffrage Movement
The Music of the Civil Rights Movement
Virtual Tour & History of the House of 7 Gables
The Role of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Pandemics
Virtual Journey to Alhambra

And in-person opportunities for learning and socializing:

Walking in Weston with Michelle Nickerson
Coffee on the COA Patio
Great Summer Reads with the Library
Tuesday Movies
Weekly grocery shopping shuttle on Thursdays

We hope you will join us this spring for our virtual presentations and spreading the word of all that we offer. By the way... everyone is welcome! if you're not 55+ yet but interested in joining a program, please don't hesitate to reach out! We welcome residents of all ages to join in on the fun. 781 786 6280 or reach out to Kristen at frady.k@westonma.gov
