LISBON RECREATION DEPARTMENT OFFERS "NEW" SENIOR’S CITIZENS CENTER PROGRAMS
The Recreation Department has opened the doors to a new Senior Citizen’s program called the "Sunshine Hill Neighbors". This program is feasible because of a $20,000.00 grant that was received from the Maine Family Community Foundation and the Sunshine Hill folks of Lisbon Falls in October.

The grant has allowed for much needed renovations to the senior’s activity room. New carpet from Floor Systems, with furniture and a new LCD flat screen TV, all combined to create a home-like atmosphere. The room is outfitted with a projector and a large wall screen for movie viewing.

The program is available for adults 55+, and all activities are decided upon by the attendees, with staff to help facilitate and coordinate.
The Senior Center is open Mon-Fri 10:00-2:00 as a drop in center where games, TV, pool, foosball, movies and free coffee are available at all open times. The Center is offering cribbage and billiards, bingo, crafts, and lunches. So feel free to drop in to see what they have to offer and pick up an events calendar.

On October 28th, a group of 10 ladies carpooled to see "Secrets of a Soccer Mom" and lunch at Dudley’s. Lots of laughs and a wonderful lunch added to a rainy afternoon.
On November 14th, a chowder/soup luncheon was served at the Center to a group of about 20 folks.
On November 18th, the Center transported 13 people to the Christmas Tree Shops/Home Goods stores and lunch at the Olive Garden.
