Saturday Morning Get-Togethers
Friends of Bolton Seniors (FOBS) announces a new program beginning on Saturday, October 23rd until April 30th in the Florence Sawyer School Library from 10:30 to 12:30
Every Saturday morning (except holidays) Bolton’s seniors are invited to gather together to chat, or do crafts, or play games. If someone brings a domino game, someone else will want to partner them. If one person brings knitting, soon we will have a knitting group.
Refreshments will be served, coffee, decaf, tea, chocolate, and cookies.
Once seniors are gathered together, we would like to hear anything that is on their minds, and use that to plan for future services and activities.

Bingo sessions will take place once per month

The Florence Sawyer School facilities are available for senior activities. We could do
cooking classes, art classes, start a choir, knit for servicemen, we can use the TV/DVD
equipment to show movies. If any of you have ideas of activities you would like to see
organized, please let me know, or come and talk to us about it at a Saturday Get-together.
Saturday Get-togethers is a weekly event until April 30th, 2011 at the Florence Sawyer
School, 100 Mechanic Street, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 in the Library on the second floor.

Bolton Afghan for Sale
We are selling custom designed afghans to raise money for senior programs. Decorated with an apple tree in the center with Bolton’s name and date of incorporation and surrounded by famous buildings, the afghans come in forest green, cranberry or black against an off-white background. They are machine washable, 100 percent cotton and sell for $40. For further information or to place an order call Jo Edmunds at 779-6406 or Mary Pitman at 779-6151.
Fuel Oil Assistance Program
During the 2008/2009 winter season, the Friends of Bolton Seniors began to provide fuel assistance for seniors in need. With generous contributions from the community, we have already helped many Bolton seniors. Most seniors are on a fixed income and it doesn’t look as if the cost of fuel oil, other utilities and basic needs will be going down soon! We are ready for the 2010/2011 winter season with funds and expertise to ensure that basic home heating needs for seniors can be met.
