A Historical Society Event, a Hampton Beach Trip and More From the Tewksbury Council on Aging

A very special note of thanks is extended to Dennis Sheehan and Maureen DiPalma for providing not only the parade float vechicles but the garage bay areas to assemble the Senior Citizen floats.  Dennis takes the time each year to prep the flat beds for the parade as well as his equipment not to mention the time spent on Memorial Day.  Thank you so much. 

Of course we also need to thank all those who helped to assemble, create and decorate the Senior Floats this year.  It was a inter-generation effort which took place on a very misty and cold Saturday.  Great job guys!!!  Last but far from least, our thanks goes out to the Town Parade Committee for all efforts in planning and executing a very important Town event...the Memorial Day Services and the Parade.

The Lowell 5 Bank will hold a seminar at the Senior Center next Wednesday, May 29.

The Historical Society will hold an event at the Tewksbury Senior Center this Friday evening, May 31 at 7:00 PM.   Entertainment for this event will be the “Singing Trooper”, Sargent Daniel M. Clark.  Admission is $8 for Historical Society members and $10 for others.  This should be a great take.

The Upscale Consignment Boutique will hold its "Intake of Items" day next Monday, June 3 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. This is also a great time to browse the shop for new items and discounted items.  A note of thanks is extended to Martha Marshall who oversees the shop business, to our Boutique Volunteer Sales Clerks and to our Boutique Consignors.  Your support helps to fund the programs and activities at the Senior Center.
